Can't find the loom for the rear blind . Ive put the blind in
but there Dont seem to be any cable to plug in :-\
There's a connector in the boot that's not used but no wire off it ?
Do i have to buy the connector ?

CDX might not have the loom fitted from the factory... especially a late one :-\
Be stuffed in the nearside parcel shelf cavity above the wheel arch if it's there... does it have the heated rear seat loom under the seat base? If yes the it will have the blind loom... if not, then it won't.
Be possible to acquire the looms for both and run them along the nearside sill and into the dash wiring at the two big plugs behind the front passenger kick panel. The wiring for both WILL be present in the dash

Just had a look in the maintenance section and seen this quote ...
Whilst in the boot look in the far left hand corner, there will be a multiplugs connector, this is the power supply for the blind
I have the multiplug but nothing clipped into it from that leading up to the rear blind , no rear heated seats in mine . Ive asked s'fish who sent me the blind if he can look for the short loom otherwise ill be forced to power it up from a battery and leave the blind up :y
No big deal as i leave the blinds up anyway but would be nice to have it all working .

Most on here seem to be of the opinion that the rear blind is a pain in the arse.
Is it worth the aggro, Mr Emd?

CDX won't have heated rear seats... But the LOOM may be present... If it is, then the blind loom will be there somewhere...
Don't piss about with a short loom, obtain the whole blind loom, including the pins/sockets from tue plug in the passenger kick panel... Fit the pins/sockets in the correct pin location in this plug and simply plug the other end in... :y
If the blind was supplied without a plug then I would be looking for a refund :-X

He's just scrapped the car today :'(

Not sure what you mean , the multi plug is already there nearside on the car . Im missing the cable from the blind to the said multi connector so the loom is already there . Just need that short piece from blind to connector :y
-
Not including the loom from the blind to the car is just
cu... ducks arseholes springs to mind :-X

I don't understand how you can't supply the loom and plug with the blind, you'd surely have to cut it to achieve that?

Indeed, hence my observations :-\
Unlews you only paid a tenner delivered, get a refund.

Blind is a multi plug , just unclips . I presume he just uncliped the blind from the motor under the parcel shelf but its the wire from the motor to the cars loom that i need . if i cant get it ill just power the blind up and leave it up .
I could run wire from the motor to the multi plug or probably get another multi plug and wire it in that way ..

Caveat emptor.
Get your money back and use it to acquire the correct loom/switch both of which should have been included ::)

I've never yet seen one sold without that lead attached, certainly the three I've bought have been complete. Oh well.

Worth going to a professional? Do you still have enough tint to supply to a company?
-
All saloons have the loom. Very late ones have a different connector to most, but all wires are present and correct.
-
Just need the wire from the blind to the loom :(
Tunnie : No tint left , just going to fit the blind :y
-
Its only 3 wires :y Make one up..
-
When I replaced blind from my old MFL to newer FL found the loom wire had a bigger connection on the cars loom.
I made the loom as said its only 3 wires ,tricky bit was removing the original plug from cars loom as limited space inside boot area with torch/soldering iron etc.
You will need to source a means to connect the 3 wires from the new loom you have made to connect to the plug on the blind motor though.Possible just very small spade type connectors would work though.

PFL and FL connectors are different but the wire colours are the same.
-
Think I've got some spade connectors .. will have a go :y
-
Plug into the motor/blind end is same ,its just the connection to main cars loom that is different so you could either just cut existing plug from cars loom and solder/shrink seal or find an alternative connection plug,n,socket to join in.
-
That's what ill do then :y Im not sure what amp wire i should be using ?
Could someone let me know please :)
-
Same thickness as existing car loom would be a start... ::)
Haynes gives the wire gauges ;)
-
Ill figure this out before xmas ;D
-
Just go to scrapyard, find omega, grap handful of wiring loom and cut.
Take home, get 3 lengths, cut some shrink tube, solder, shrink tube, put switch in.
Blind goes up blind goes down. ;)

Only 1 way to deal with this and thats to power the blind up without a switch and leave it up ::)
