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]

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

 

[Mark Ormond]

Sorry missed that
about 3 amps

how about the fuel pump feed?

 

[Mark Ormond]

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 ?

use it to trigger a relay?

 

[Mark Ormond]

Yes inline fuse, relay, buzzer, sensor

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

thats ok then use that.

 

[Mark Ormond]

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]

its for your level sensor

 

[rewmer]

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.

 

[Mark Ormond]

Will take a look thanks for that

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]

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.
