Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

I already have the diagrams.
I'm also very experienced with vehicle electrics (and avionics)

I have fitted an auxiliary fusebox in the battery bay for all my planned extras.

Currently have a separate loom for headlights with 60a relay for halogen driving lights.

I recently fitted a relay across the reversing light circuit to run my reverse lights and added a custom dash.

I also re-instated the blackout switch.

So there are a number of places I'll be checking first.

Another thing I recently did was change the air filter, and may have dusturbed the plate that is known to chafe wiring.

The sound was a destinct blade fue blowing sound.

Headlight Wiring Kits | TRAXIDE - RV | Traxide - RV

Much safer than the traditional LR wiring and will allow you to fit +130 bulbs which actually let you see something at night.

I fitted sealed beams for water resistance reasons.
I use auxiliary halgens.

I'm in the process of upgrading and replacing much of the existing wiring.

Ah! I remember that dash now.
good luck in your search for the source, hopefully it's not too difficult a fix.

I have a feeling it's got something do do with the melted connector on the driver's side headlight.

Spotted it pre-roadworthy when changing lights.

well I have dash lights again.
couldn't find any blown fuses but pulled each and every fuse and inspected.
Fuses 16, 18, 19 and 20 looked corroded and in poor condition so I replaced them.

Bought myself a quality test screwdriver today and a big box of 230 fuses.

I went so far as to remove the dash binnacle, and found I have a t2 wedge globe holder floating around loose, and I suspect it may have contacted the speedo cable - or something else.

I didn't have dash lights until I put the test screwdriver in this holder and turned on ignition.

I had however replaced fuses in between testing steps, so I suspect I just had a dodgy fuse somewhere.

I've also wired one of my auxiliary switches to override the relay (with a thermal overload) on my aux driving lights so that if they ever drop on me at speed I can turn them on long enough to pull over.

My fuse cover was all but missing, and unreadable, so I had to print a spare for now.
found a good image on REMLR:

Any idea what fuse 18 is?
I assume 19 is washers/wipers, and 20 is heater...

Cool.
This symbol for 18, my best guess, is the disc brake pad wear warning setup. My FFR has the wires on the pads. Whether it works is an unknown. I know the RFSVs have it, and they began life as an FFR as well.

We'll both have to go make coffee and await a guru with the correct info.

I went thru the fuse box sort-out and put in all new fuses as you see in the thread on REMLR. I have had no electrical hassles since then.

my brake warning wire is disconnected below.

I'll do some testing when I reconnect it.

Air conditioning compressor clutch, fuse 17 is the AC fans. Another remnant of the loom being the civvy V8 issue.
