Hi everyone, I'm a great fan of Land Rover's and have owned several in my years. I have much knowledge that I have taught myself on these cars,
Specifically:
-Air Suspension (expert)
-Vehicle BECM
-Brakes
-Aleternator
-Battery System
-Air Suspension Computer Control & Computer Diagnosis
Theres one issue I have that has attracted me to joining, I have a problem with the 12V feed from the BECM to the back of the alternator. I believe that the alternator enables charging when 12V is placed into the ignition light connector. But my cable is outputting 11.7V and is intermittently charging the battery, causing major charge issues. I have figured the best way to solve this issue would be to either place a relay on the 11.7V output and get 12V direct from the battery (but theres no way for me to determine if its not completely dropping out whilst driving) or run / route a 12V ignition trigger lead from either the stereo or from another one in the engine bay.
Thats where I need help:
-Where to find a 12V ignition trigger lead in the engine bay (if one exists)
-Where to route it through the firewall the easiest with minimal dash removal.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Julian Rivers-Smith
