Have found I think most of the threads already on this.
The 07 TDV6 that I bought has a Electric brake controller already fitted but a few questions, the wiring is all done as the original post of Sniegy, bar the diode, all connected at the rear LH light area.
Has a Voyager fitted which In am not that wrapped in but it seems to work O.K. I have a problem with the way it is wired, if sitting in the car with foot on the brake pedal, key out, and touch the hand slide on the controller everything comes on ? radio starts and all the dash lights up doing a systems check.
I think they have used 5 core trailer wire to connect which I believe is far too light, 1 cable cut out. All connected to the correct wires at the rear, but the brown wire down to the black trailer socket that the power feed supplies is very light for the job, no one have trouble with it ?
The purple wire that they pick the power feed from is a nice heavy cable but comes from a plug that has a much smaller wire feeding it ??
There is definitely no diode fitted to any wires, maybe why I am getting the back feed ?
This was fitted by the selling dealer in S/Paradise from new, has towed a pony club horse float once a month since they owned it.
I am proposing to run a power feed 6mm auto twin core to the unit from the battery to avoid the long route up from the rear then back again. That will free up 2 wires in the loom that is already there, will join the 3 together (leave the trigger wire connected to brake light circuit as is) give me a bit more more capacity back to the plug but the size of the brown connecting wire to the plug worries me a bit, do I dig it out and replace it all the way to the plug ? is that possible ? or warranted ?
