TD 5 i need electric feed for sensor

Mark Ormond · Dec 23, 2015

I need to find a 12 volt feed to power a sensor under the bonnet, and buzzer behind Dash.
I dont like scotch locks, would like to find a spare way so i can plug straight on.
Any recomends for where to find one
Thanks

do you have aircon?

Do you want it to be permanently live or ignition switched?
what current does it need to draw?

Mark Ormond · Dec 23, 2015

ignition switched will be fine.
if engine is running i need it to be powered up
thanks

Sorry missed that
about 3 amps

how about the fuel pump feed?

Mark Ormond · Dec 23, 2015

Is that injector pump or pump in fuel tank.
Not keen in tapping into either of those, being what i would call critical circuits.
Spare way on back of fuse board ?

Mark Ormond · Dec 23, 2015

Ok thanks

if it's de-EGR'd you have a good ignition live in the unused EGR modulator's plug but only to feed a relay's coil with it not more

Mark Ormond · Dec 24, 2015

its for your level sensor

Have a look for the fuel burning heater feed on the right hand side of the engine bay near the bulkhead. Two plugs, one six pin and one two. The two pin is permanent live.

Will take a look thanks for that

may i ask why you need to do this! not a popular mod, is there something in derby that the temp moves so much?

Mark Ormond · Dec 28, 2015

You sure can
Sierrafery gave me a drawing to fit level sensor on the coolant expansion tank, so if you get burst hose the buzzer will go off.

So u can then forget Preventative Maintenance then, which is better... think about it.
