.........1- 1 Wire to the Positve Side of the Battery. 2- 1 Wire to a Positive (ignition on only) feed.3- 1 Wire to the Positve side of a parker light.4- 1 Wire to the positve side of the Low beam lamp5- 1 Wire to the poisitve side of the High beam lamp6- 1 Wire to the chassis (ground).Seems straight Forward enough - but I keep blowing the 20A in-line fuse between the Battery and the Control Unit. I understand how it works in principal.... by connecting the wires from the unit to each of the lamps, the unit controls and by-passes your stalk headlight controls. Controlling a circuit in parallel to the standard headlight control circuit. I've even checked that I've got the right connections on the lamps by running two wires from the battery directly to each of the lamps to see if they light and they do! I really don't know what I've done (or doing wrong!) I've even rechecked with a test lamp that I've got the right points.. the Fuse still keeps blowing.As an aside - I did install the reversing sensors myself and I found that the reverse lamps were ground switched rather than positive switched. IE. The positive side of the lamps are permanantly connected to a power source and it was the negative wire that was switched on/off to control the lamps. Backward to anything I've ever seen on a car, but then the only cars I've fiddled with electrically were a 180B an '79Triumph TR7 and a 81' Mazda 929......
Excuse the crudeness of my diagram.
Dave.
