Support Team Shaun_E Posted March 19, 2005 Support Team Share Posted March 19, 2005 I broke my reversing light switch which had a single wire connection with a press stud fitting. The new one supplied by Caterham has two "bullet" connectors. I have 2 questions: 1. What connectors do you use to connect the wires to the bullets? I have tried a straight 15amp female connector but it sticks out through the hole in the transmission tunnel. I assume there is some sort of right angled connector available - is this available from Caterham? Is it a double connector or 2 separate ones? 2. My old switch obviously earthed through the body of the switch - can I simply connect the existing wire to one terminal and take a wire from the other to a suitable earth? I have read "this thread which seems to suggest that newer cars are wired differently with the switch being in the positve feed to the bulbs rather than the earth. Should I change the wiring to the new method? Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F355GTS Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Shaun you are right on the wiring just run an new lead to earth The std fitting is a rubber cap with some 90 degree connectors in it, I ost mine during the rebuild and asked Caterham but they said they couldn't supply ☹️ I haven't done mine yet but have some lower profile bullets which I'm going to try, I'll let you know how I get on!

Support Team Shaun_E Posted March 19, 2005 Author Support Team Share Posted March 19, 2005 Cheers Mark. Let me know if the bullets you have are any good. I'll call Caterham on Monday and see if they've got any in yet. Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
