Posted 2 years 2 months ago #200078The perspex window suddenly started coming away from the hood on the lower driver's side section. Nice to have a second way of opening the boot, always a scary thought locking the keys in the boot. Thanks Tom. 😀

Posted 2 years 1 month ago #200161Incidentally, my five-wire Cadillac solenoid doesn't have a return spring, but I've fitted one externally that returns the piston without robbing too much power from the coil.

Posted 2 years 1 month ago #200167Spray the tyraps with a silicone oil so you can safely pick them open to run the wire inside them before reclosing them and ensure there is enough slack but not too much around the hinge, before bringing it out into the hood well by cutting a 4mm slit in the big grommet where the water gathers, pushing a fairly wide tyrap crossways through it while you're there ( to keep it open and act as a drain, as well as a hole to route the cable through.) From there, run the cable behind the carpet securing buttons under the hood mech on the left hand side of the car and towards the front, then across the floor towards the fuse box, giving yourself a yard of slack before removing the two 10mm nuts holding the fuse box so that you can secure the end of the wire to the 1/4" connector from the unused fuse 3.
Remove the steering column cowling and drill a hole for the switch underneath, behind the two holes securing the cowling to the column. Route the slack yard up to there, cut it where you need to and connect the switch before refitting the cowling. Now put a 10 amp fuse into the unused position 3. You're done. Forty minutes tops.

Posted 2 years 1 month ago #200175:bust:Smashing, that brings back memories. De-bur the holes as you go, it’ll save you cleaning blood off the upholstery when you’ve finished.
Always say a job's not finished until it's had a blood sacrifice...:slapme:
