[Madcaravanner]

OK fitted the tracker OK

Need to fit relay to immobile from tracker
Access to ignition barrel difficult as previous numpty has rounded off the screws to remove the panels around the steering column

So can anyone tell me where the wires come out and which is them ignition wire I need to cut to bridge with the relay
any pictures would help too as not got ny diagrams can't find a workshop manual to use

OK NEED HELP NOW

before I start trying a screw removing tool can anyone suggest a way of removing the four retaining screws that a numpty has wrecked (not me BTW )

Well You tube is good not perfect but good

I managed to get the steering column plastics off
I soldered the wiring up and now have a fully functioning system

Think I would have disabled the fuel pump instead of the ignition switch wire.

the tracker specifical says not to isolate fuel pump

Mine's the opposite.....disable fuel pump.
Makes more sense to me, isolating ign would turn everything off including brake lights and electronic steering lock if fitted.
Fuel pump simply kills the engine.

I agree but I do not know anything about vehicles electrics yes even a little plumbing and joinery
but this time I was flying totally blind
the handbooks that came with the vehicle do not have diagrams for it so it was a very much test test and test again to work out which wires to bridge

So took my time not helped by the inability to remove certain plastics in the cab area to track wiring and also not helped by the sticky fabric type of wire covering bundling them all together

but right now everything is functioning as it should system alerts come through (to our phones) when we start the vehicle up

Now just need the *&*&*&*&*&* scaffolding removing from the house after our new roof so we can get out of the drive
