Circuit 15 should be active during cranking - it's circuit x that isn't. That's the one used for high current items like the headlights and rear window demister that aren't needed in order to start th ...

During cranking the 15 circuit isn't activated. The coil is energized by the 16 circuit which comes off the 50 cranking circuit at the starter. This is for US cars. Not sure on the ROW's.

Actually relay needs only (+12V) signal to be trigged - from coil to input 1 in relay.
The relay I drew the circuit for (not sure whether yours is the same or not) needs about 50V on pin 1 to trigger ...

The problem with using laptop displays in daylight is really the amount of light that gets reflected off the front of the screen, which swamps the light coming through it from the backlight - which is ...

41 until June. Originally bought my 931 back in 1984 when I was 24, and the weird way insurance in the UK works is that at the age of 25 you instantly become a safe, careful driver and your premiums d ...

The spider web wheels on mine were blasted, powder coated and clear laquered about fifteen years ago. They still look great and they've only ever needed cleaning with the same shampoo that does the r ...

I dunno. You try and pay people a compliment and look what happens...

Hey Roger - that's about the worst explanation of LCD operation I've ever heard!

They don't heat up at all - that could never happen quick enough for practical use. What happens is that the el ...

All may not necessarily be lost. Sometimes LCDs just come a bit loose - they usually have contacts on the glass which are pressed against a connector of some sort by the surrounding plastic enclosure. ...

The Haynes book has photos of the original radio cassette player (figs 22.3 and 22.4 on page 236 of mine) although it's hard to see as the gearknob gets in the way. CDs weren't even invented till the ...

Stick with this one, Rob. There's at least half a dozen of us in the UK that post on here and as 5150 says the depth of knowledge and experience on here is second to none. The differences betweek UK a ...

Ah, right - the bridging wire got hot, not the pot. That makes sense.

Once you've fixed up the wiring, check the resistance to ground from the wire leaving the pot (blue/grey) before connecting it ...

By "bridging the pot" you mean connecting the two terminals together? That should stop any current going through it, so it shouldn't get hot at all. A resistance of 10 Ohms with 12 Volts across it wil ...

If it's of any relevance, my PO had fitted round speakers to the doors but made a complete botch of it. They weren't screwed into the metal of the door, just the soft door panel which was coming loose ...

Well, your fuel pump *might* have died prematurely. Or it could be a whole load of other things.

However, you could very easily spend a great deal of time and money replacing one part after another ...
