Cheers Az
Lol, I fitted a Foglight Kit about a month ago, and I must admit the red wire was the only bit that had me swearing!!
I've chucked my fitting instructions away now, so I can't remember which harness you plug the red wire into. It's quite clearly shown on the instructions, and the excellent guide on this thread though.
This is how I got the red wire in though:
- Remove bolt holding fusebox in place, and lower the fusebox as far as you can.
- Remove the plastic cover on the rear of the box, at the top (it's only held on with plastic clips)
- Disconnect the required wiring harness from the rear of the fusebox (there's a locking tab on the top you have to push down).
- The top and bottom of the plug can slide back to reveal the top or bottom row of pins. Slide the required side back, and push the red wire into the correct empty hole.
- The "pin" on the end of the wire should go all the way in now. Close the panel again, and the red wire will be securely held in place.
- Pop the wiring harness back into the fusebox, replace plastic cover, and then push the fusebox back up until it lines up with the bolt hole.
- Groan as you try to stand up again, and marvel at your now crippled back
It seems some people have luck just pushing the wire straight into the rear of the plug, but mine wouldn't go in even when the plug was removed from the fusebox.
The rest of the wiring is easy. Just make sure you route everything properly so it can be fastened clear of the steering column, pedals etc.
