caddy van

[hobbiniho]

right iv just bought myself a p reg caddy van and i need some help, the previous owner had installed a switch between the battery and the fuel cut off solenoid, now this is really annoying because i jeepon forgetting to pust the switch so sit there turning it ovwe for ages before i realise and if i leave it on by accident then it drains the battery, what i want to know is where can i connect the wire to so that it works with the key??? any help is appreciated cheers

oh fook it i will just leave it since there is no handles on the back door so its not like its difficult to brake into

Presumably that switch was put in because something else wasn't working and not cutting the fuel off.

If you wanted to bodge a work-around, you could replace the switch with a relay, and then take an ignition switched 12v wire from somewhere (like the stereo loom) and connect it to the relay.
Thus when you turn on the ignition, the 12v goes to the relay, flipping the relay, sending power to the fuel cut off solenoid.
Alternatively, just run the ignition switched 12v wire direct to the fuel cut off solenoid. (I did say it'd be a bodge)

yeh i think that it was bodged to the stereo loom before because the stereo doesnt seem to work, i will need to borrow a multimeter from a friend and see what i can work out and iv only just realised that the headlights are broken  :angry:but thank god iv got another van for spares so can get bits off it although its a seat inca but im sure most of it will fit
