I've done the bit in red like you have, I'll try and solder the switched 12v instead of using the quick splice then. Electrics is not my best skill, I'm very poor at it TBH
I'm picking up 12v at the metal part of the quick splice, it could be that it hasn't grounded on the black wire within the splice? It's a possibility. No way I can check the black wire itself as it joins into the controller box. I've earthed the white wire just underneath the tweeters
Right checked the splice and there is over 12volt coming into it once I turn the ignition, it could be that the black wire hasn't been cut correctly while I squeezed them on? Will re-wire it tonight after work to see. It does sound like the culprit
Yes, I tested some wires with the multimeter and found a suitable one above the break pedal. Used a quick splice. I'll check it to see if it picks up power
Right got the wiring finished off tonight and it doesn't work. I've checked everything and I think I've installed everything as the guide says. The ECU doesn't click when I turn the ignition. There is over 12volts coming into the unit though. The red connector which feeds into the motor on the...
Got the steering rack and column fitted over the weekend. Also installed the adjusting knob for the EPAS just behing the gearstick, so I can adjust while being strapped in. Just need to finish the wiring now, managed to pop into maplins this morning, so I'll get the car finished by tonight...
I've only managed half a day in Oulton, brakes leaked last year so stopped me doing a full day. It was my fault as I'd worn the pads down to the back plates! Driver error
Just read through the whole thread, epic car. Will be good to see it going in Oulton. Fancy an R26 sometimes, but I've ploughed so much effort into the Clio. Plus I know my way around the car very well, it's so easy to work on
Cheers Craig,
I'd love to have your engine though ;)
Hopefully I'll get it finished this weekend coming. So much more room around the engine bay now.ph1 Subframe slightly different?
Also got some parts for the conversion from ebay -
Under £140 for all them bits. Cheap conversion :cool:
Also put my old rack in the vice, used some mole grips as steering and the knock could be heard inside. My predictions were correct
Nearly finished stripping the old bits off the car for this conversion now. New parts should be with me Tuesday. I take it you pull the ignition barrel off the current column and swap it to the X65 column?
