Hi All

can anyone tell me where i can get into wiring loom for the door light for a full 12v as the loom in the door trim only gives me 1.5v?:confused:

Without looking at RAVE, you may find its only 1.5v because the switch talks to the BCU rather than actually powering the light like it may do on an older vehicle.

Thanks

is there anyway of getting 12v to work from the door light or better using head lights to get 12v?

You may be better off picking up power at the light in that case and running it to the gizmo.

Yes the SLABS ECU is the controlling force. The door switches are located in the door latching/Locking mechanisms. So you will have to use the actual light power wire as your source . So that your puddle lights operate in conjuction with the interior/entry . You really need the RAVE Electrical library to follow it correctly

BCU not SLABS unless you have a very odd D2 ;)
