Thread: TD5 CHIP power +12v source

Hi All,

Can't get an install instruction sheet for a second hand DP-37 ( for a discovery TD5 auto ), but ....'How hard can it be ? '

( Asking for any assistance generaly results in a offer to provide an expen$ive $ervice )

The plugs, male and female, go between the injector loom plug under front of rocker cover. (and what is it with the oil....... )
The black wire will be earched (-12V).

But the Red wire ?

To the +12v of the battery (through a fuse) for constant power ?
Or to the ACC on the ingition system, so it is powered up only when the engine is running ?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Thanks Andy.

The web site is not very helpful, so I rang the manufacturer (Australian branch) and pleaded my way down to a technical guy. I knew it would be 'difficult'. A stated fact was "we will not give out install instructions / wiring diagrams to people who purchase them 2nd hand."
Altruistically, I think they want them back to check them out and repackage them. ( $200 remap + $200 wiring loom). Perhaps people buy them and attempt to make them work on different engines and complain when they don't perform correctly.
The cynic in me thinks perhaps it's a financial exercise.

Anywho, the bloke said it didn't matter too much, as you mentioned, it's hard to kill them. He also said the chip will turn itself off after a minute or so when the engine is turned off. Clever.

So I just connected it to the battery side of my Redark.

Works well. Different vehicle. Let's hope I can increase the economy instead of getting everywhere quicker.
