Retrofit Remote Central Locking Question

Thanks guys.

Need to check it's a + or - coming out of the remote. I'm sure it's a +

My hazard switch only has 3 cables.

Facade: I was trying the Red/Green and Yellow/Green. Should I have been looking for the Green/Red & Green/Yellow (first colours run between switch and relay, second run from relay to lights).



Will try again.

I'm watching this with interest as thinking of doing the same if you get it to work ok ....

I posted the colours earlier, Green wire/red stripe & green wire/yellow stripe They go directly to the bulbs, touch a live to them and the bulbs will light up. You can splice into the main harness that goes to the back lights, it goes down the left hand side of the car, but the logical place is in the cable that goes to the turn signal relay

The wiring diagram you posted is for the late model car.
The Red wire/green stripe is the wrong wire, no idea how the column switch works, it has not been drawn in a way that I can interpret

Thanks Facade.

I was thinking it had to be joined before the relay and that the signal activated the relay which flashed the lights. This way I guess the live just powers the lights.

Rather oddly, this is the loom I have in my 2003. It also has the newer stereo connector.

I'll give this another try (although I think it's what I tried which blew the fuse earlier). Fingers crossed.

Thanks.

Find a 12V bulb, indicator, reverse light, rear foglight, (the load of 2 flasher bulbs + repeater is 45W so a front foglight might be too much), earth one end to the bodywork, and connect the remote unit indicator output to the other end of the bulb, just to check that it flashes ok before you start blowing any fuses again

With the jimny being negative switched, you might need to use your central locking unit to create an earth for the indicator switch, you can do this using a relay, wire the switching part of the relay up as normal but use the other 2 pins to earth the wire on the indicator module. If using a relay you could even have it flash the headlights as the relay would take the current and not your central locking module, and would probably be easier to tap into than the indicators.

Thanks for all your input guys.

I can conform that it needed a relay wiring in to switch the hazards due to the negative switching of the Jimny.

There is a trigger cable on the central locking module on my Jimny (Type 3 setup) so tapped into there and all is sorted.

Well done, quite a nice up-grade for not much money .................

According to the manual, connector G115 to the central locking box should be on the left side of the central column for LHD cars:

However, I've looked and looked and cannot find the bloody thing. I found G44 (the 4-pin connector for the clock), but no sign of the central locking box. Is it big, small ? hidden behind the big steel pipe in the dash ? do I need to remove the CD player ?

On another note, does anyone know what type of spades fit in the clock connector (or a compatible male connector to buy on eBay)? I'd like to use it for powering "various stuff" and it'd be nice to use the same connector (without cutting the wires/replacing the connector).

Hi,

On the RHD car, it's inside the central section, below the stereo, to the left of the ash tray. It's difficult to get at but the harness can be unclipped and there's just enough slack to work with.

On the LHD car though, that may be more difficult!

well iv been testing my jimny its a w reg and mine isnt switched earth on the indicators or lights or windows and my front fogs are switched live to so who nos
