Cobra LED wiring

[Louis]

I have noticed theres about 10metres of wiring tied up and tucked under the lower dash that goes to the little LED for the cobra alarm..

Can I shorten this without any problem? I presume it's fine but want to check before messing around with non factory fit alarms...

Shout ALLAHU ACKBAR before you cut the wires.

If it's just two wires, it'll be reet

Yeah, I think so. Dont want it having a fit and causing immob issues or something daft.

Found the wiring diagram for it and it suggests theres a connector prior to it going into the fuse box but no idea if thats true!

Well presumably all the slack is where the LED is so you can just check that it’s not shooting off anywhere and snip off everything after?

Guessing that’s just a connection to ground.

Think it's a proper connection you know. I'll try find it, makes it nicer if I can de-pin it then shorten

Unwrapped this bundle of wires today and found the connector within.

Mad how much wire there is! Cant believe they didnt make one that was the perfect length for the clio considering how many they fitted. Anyway, disconnected it for now and going to try de-pin and shorted the whole lot. Managed to snap the solder joint off the LED so gives me the opportunity to shorten that length of wire too.
