®evo03 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) Is it above kick panel, passanger side. Think the wee box is a n energy saver for quad lights. When the car is parked with lights on, car stopped, it cuts voltage.... Apparently? Car is looking good, getting round it rightly.

It’s done from below and is a pain.

H-400 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Thanks for the info, thought they were glued on the gearstick. The wiring is hidden behind the kickpanels, rather high.You'll find a grommet to the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
