problems fitting mfd

Post by k1ngy »

ok, i purchased a mfd from my local scrap yard, after taking most of the dash apart i found the wiring plug and conected it all up

now the problem i have is the mfd will only come on when the headlights are on and doesn't hold memory, id like to know if there is a way to get it to stay on without having to turn the lights on

thanks in advance :D

If you want constant power just take a source directaly from the battery, if you radio turns on when the ignation isnt on then you could take it from that mybe ?.

problem sorted :D

turns out the conector on the back of the mfd was faulty so after a quick prod with a screwdriver and a blob of solder its now working as it should

thanks for the advice guys 8)
