Three New Projects

[Syd Lambton]

My three new projects

Mk2:- Slave relay printed circuit board, for lighting and auxiliary equipment, to interface between car towing electrical sockets N12 and S12 and caravan/trailer

My previous design only had separate boards for each socket; also I up rated the relays from 5amp to 16amp contacts.

The mask was produced on transparency film via a laser printer: Had to feed thru twice to get the right density, this can be a bit tricky on alignment.

Picture from start to finish.

MK2 boot storage box; the old box was to small to take the new slave printed circuit board, also I have scrapped my previous project of my laptop hung under the parcel shelf, after seeing Matt’s computer project, decided to free up my laptop and purchase a 170x170mm motherboard and power supply and fit it into the offside boot storage box, rerouted all the cables to this box, waiting for my computer project.

The drawings are accurate for a 1996 MK2, should be the same for all MK2’s feel free to use.

hey fellas you may be able to help me.

ive for some reason lost my rear fogs not sure how, when i stripped the switch ive seemed to have lost my headlights and now front fogs!!!! is there an intergrated relay that controls all? if so where is it

ive had this problem for two weeks and im at a total loss - oh i have checked all fuses

please help thank you

[lutonmatt]

hi mat

it sound like it could be a relay but were it is i have no idea they tink of a worse place to put it and then put it there

have you checked the power to the switch

if its not the relay i have had it before on a gs were a wire at the bottom of the steering colum had broke

matt

[Mat]

yea there is power to the switch but i think there is meant to be two power supplies and there isnt ill link up another source!!!

thanks for your help

mat

[lutonmatt]

may be worth hooking up a source of power there even if its just to make sure its nothing else then a power problem but these things have so many wires in relays for each bit its hard to find them
