Switch still requires two wires to work...

[darrenfos]

it does have to wires a red and a black, red goes into control box and black is earth

[darrenfos]

also the whole things works perfectly, as a front sensor's should but i wanted to make it safe with a fuse.

[darrenfos]

i cant remember who mentioned it but would a glass milli amp fuse holder be better and safer

[AndyRoid]

Those outside sensors need to be closer to the corner of the bumper if you want true corner protection.

if i put a 2 amp fuse between the positive and the cig lighter will it work or is that to low

As it only draws 30mA, a 1amp fuse is too big really.

[darrenfos]

what about the small glass radio type ones

[darrenfos]

500mA Quickblow Glass 20mm Fuse from maplin that sounds better

500mA Quickblow Glass 20mm Fuse from maplin that sounds better

Thats what I would use, going by the wire sizes you hinted at earlier (but never confirmed).

I'd also stay away from ciggy lighter, probably take it from the switched 12v going to radio instead

I reckon the unit will draw no more than 3 or 4 Watts, so I would go along with the 500mA Quick Blow as suggested already many a times.

If you want an in line glass fuse holder (minus the fuse) pm me your Addy and I'll post one, got loads kicking around.

[darrenfos]

All sorted now with glass fuse. Thanks for the offer zirk, and to all that helped me, just better to be safe.

One thing i can be proud of is that bumper full respray with cans

The respray does look good from the pics, but you still have those corner sensors too far in towards the middle of the bumper (they need to be pretty much on the corner if you want them to work as intended).

Well that kept me entertained for a while, must pop in here more often.........
