Re: Ammo's Ute
An up date as requested.
With a heap of help from Blacky, there is working power windows nows and before you ask, yes we used 2 relays in each side.
Tested and have the pass tick. Also update the white board to smiley face on the wiring line.
To me it was a little outside of my skills but with Blacky's help, all good.
.
Next is to finish the interior lights and puddles lights, put the door cards back on.
I have the rocker switches in and wiring laid out.
At last some progress.
Cheer, Roger

There is a right way and a wrong way and then there is my way which is usually the long way.

Re: Ammo's Ute
Neil, I think the heater is out of a HR. Single speed fan.

Now iI need some help wiring up the handbrake warning light. Yes
i can tie my own shoelaces but electrical wiring requires wizard grade thinking.
I'm using a HQ style handbrake which has single wire.
The warning light will been one of the idiot lights but update engraving,( P ) Cheers,
Roger

What no relays???

Re: Ammo's Ute
So I would like to add that the power wire should come from an ignition source and fused, probably the same circuit as your fuel gauge or something that comes on when the ignition is on.
As Blacky has mentioned power to the globe then out to the switch wire, this will ground the globe for the power to run through.
This is similar to the way horn buttons work, negative switched.
