MFD (multi function display) problem upon wiring it up
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2005 2:34 pm
Hello once again,
Right, my k-reg corsa merit came with the MFD when i bought it and so havn\'t had to wire one up seperatley luckily.
Now, the wifes corsa hasnt got one, and so i pinched one from the local scrappy for her. I then took the centre console out and found the connector that i needed taped to the other wires behind the centre console. This set of wires were the same as were in mine, and even had the connector needed to fit in.
Right, so now id done the hard part, i connected it up and as soon as i did the whole thing lit up, like it does on mine.... although there was one small problem........
Now her mum reckons ive bodged the wiring up as it will work fine, and goes off when the key is removed from the ignition, but when you turn your lights on (according to the mother) the MFD turns off and you cant see it.......
Any ideas on how to fix this/sort it
Cheers
Adam
