Switched live or earth?

Raistlin · 6th November 2007, 15:13

Just idly musing about my powerwash mod.

Does anybody know please, whether sidelights and also wipers are live or earth switched please?

If live switched, the final wiring will take a few minutes. If earth switched, I need to re-think.

Thanks

Looking at the Haynes manual they "appear" to both be live switched (via their respective BCU/Lighting modules).

Thanks Les

I suspect the problem might be the BCU, as we discussed earlier.

I have all the other bits I need but wouldn't mind trying the BCU to see if it is the final link in the chain.

I've PMed you
