hilli182 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Google searches are annoying me now as every page gives a different answer I'm fitting my apxei timer and need to know which wires on this harness are 12v constant power source and which goes off to a 12v ignition switched power source (it is the plug from left hand side of steering column) I did think I knew the answer but Google searches are throwing me now so help would be appreciated.

Gambit Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I couldn't tell you mate form experience of pratting about with a few not every scoobie uses the same colour wire just to make life that little more fun :( Do you have a tester you can use it was the only way I could get most things to work right in the car. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilli182 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Why are they so awkward making these things lol. I assumed the red is 12v but could be wrong. If I cut it can always be connected back together I guess I'll leave this bit till last and carry on with the rest, see if anyone else has any idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I can't remember I would have said red is too I would almost put money on it but I've done it before and found it was another colour Multi tester has been my saviour a lot :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Pulled this when i was doing my gauge install SUBARU (+12v Constant) Red/Green Ignition (+12v Switched) Blue/Yellow Ground (-) Black Not sure if it helps, you could chase the wiring back from the ignition barrel to find a perm live, pretty sure thats green, I have a white one thats perm live too that runs to my ring light Sent from my SM-T210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilli182 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 That's another colour combination I've read then lol. This is what's frustrating why don't the just do it a universal way rather than by the looks of it using what ever cable they could find at the time.

stants Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Haha it's the way they put different coloured spots on it all, different years had different colours and that also changes between model too. Are you just after an ignition live and a perm live feed or do you need to chop into that exact part off the loom ?

Gambit Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 As Stants said really I know it's a ******, but you have to admit it does keep life interesting doesn't it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilli182 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 I guess it doesn't have to be from that exact part just needs to be a perm feed and switched feed which can be from the !Removed! lighter or Stereo... any suggestions where's the easiest place to connect to then Just thinking out loud. could i take both from back of Stereo?

Gambit Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 easiest place will always be anything around the center console upto the clock. If thats where you will be fitting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Essiest place it to use the piggy back fused connector, theres a perm live fuse at the bottom right and any of the others will be live when on, I know I keep banging on about the but they really are such an easy way to add circuits http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Add-A-Circuit-Fuse-Tap-Piggy-Back-MINI-Blade-Fuse-Holder-ATM-APM-12v-24v-volt-/180735824927 Sent from my SM-T210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Never used them so can't comment I'm old school and use spade connectors and electrical tape :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
