I am surprised, that I am not giving myself a thorough uppercut!
So this happened;
My hood failed open… Pressed for time, I parked it up a couple of months ago. A couple of weeks ago, I thought I would look into it.
You may notice that on this build thread, (two posts up fourteen months ago) Calicat patiently explains that it is power down either cable , then a comon earth strap to ground.
One post up, the penny dropped for me… Well fourteen months later, the penny had completely un-dropped… I had completely forgotten, made exactly the same assumptions as a year earlier… and ripped my dashboard/crash pad out (in a fit of let’s get this $heat done!)
Except Calicat was right, and I ripped it all out for nothing!
My cluster has been a source of frustration since I bought the car, but I was too scared to dive into it… effectively only the tach lit up at night, a horrid fluro green. So I ordered some LED wedges, and again with the help of the group…
I now have a perfect brightness, pleasant blue glow across the cluster….
I also prewired audio, which I will pick up on this build thread.
