Omega General Help / will bmw alloys fit my mig?
« on: 25 September 2008, 18:15:05 »
just found out that i need 4 new tyres on my mig 
so i'm thinking that due to the fact i dont like my alloys i might as well get some 2nd hand alloys with good tyres that i like instead,been on ebay and theres nothing close enough to me that are in my price range that i like so looking at other models,i know beemers are 5 stud and if they do fit would i need 5 series or 3 series?if not what other makes fit the 5 stud vaux?

0V is chassis ground so connect it to the car body work at a convenient point.ok just a quicky,got the mig stripped to wire the blind in and have found theres no f20 by the b pillar,can i run a live from the sender unit loom in the boot?
F20 is a fuse....but as said its easily found by the passenger or drivers seat as it also feeds the seat heaters (assuming the wiring for these is there!).
Realy surprised you cant find the loom, it is normaly taped to the main loom at the back left of the boot high up.

when i disconnected the plug when taking the shelf out at the scrappys i made a mental note of where the plug was,when i got home its defo not there,theres no split in the main loom for it to exit from and go to the shelf,the only other loom that leaves the main loom in the same place as where the blind loom should be is for the fuel sender,its a strange one eh,the mig has got wires going into the base of the seats and the switches in the dash for the heated seats so fingers crossed it should'nt be too much of a problem.

been out this morning and defo no wires for it,gutted cos i thought i might find it with a fresh pair of eyes,raining hard now an i have got to go to the breakers as i've broke a couple of clips so guess who's getting soaked today !!!!! with the red wire you say connect to f20,what is f20 mate?also what is ov for the brown?thanks for your help as well much appreciated,looks like i'll be getting it working after allQuotedoes anyone know which colour wires are for what on this?theres 3 wires from the blind,1)red 2)brown and i think a blue and red,i take it one is for blind up,another is for blind down but what would the third be for?also would the wires in the back of the switch be coloured the same as on the blind?
Blimey, yours would be the first I have seen without the wires!
1)Red - Connect to F20 (on a facelift car this can be found feeding the seat heating by the base of the B post)
2)Brown - Ov, connect to a convenient piece of metal!
3)Blue and red - Connect to pin 2 of the switch

yup i'm surprised as well cos normally vauxhall use the same looms throughout the range to save the expense of having different looms for different specs,a bit gutted to be honest as i was hoping to get it working tomorrow and i'm hopeless at electrics so no idea how to hard wire it in.

i got a gls with no rear leccy blind but i have got the switch in the dash for it,so i went off to my local vaux breakers today and picked a blind up,got it home and stripped the interior to fit it and noticed theres no plug/loom in the boot to connect it up ,i took the switch out to see if theres any wires running into the back and yep ther wires are there,so......how do i wire the leccy blind in?i was thinking that there might be a loom from the rear of the switch down to the foot well with a plug on the end and am rather hoping that i can go back to the scrappys and get the loom from the boot but its a 90 mile round trip,is this the case that i can get the loom,plug it into the the blind and run it through to another plug running from the back of the switch?thats what i'm hoping for,i know vauxhall looms are normally universal and carry the plugs for all the optional extra's and was shocked to find theres nothing in the boot for the blind,or is the plug hidden out of sight?many thanks in advance,Chris.
