i'm fitting my autometer AFR shortly (once the pod arrives), and was wondering if i could make use of the bright switch to turn the AFR off and on when i need it rather than have it flash like a funfair 24/7.
I've heard the LED's can be a tad annoying sometimes and thought of utilising the bright switch, could any electonics people out there shed some light on this thought? cheers chris |
Chris, yes you can use it...when you unplug it, it just leaves the clock on 'bright'.
If you then use insulated spade connectors to connect the switch to whatever you want, it wont short. ps. the terminals on the back of the switch are same size as spades. |
excellent. guess what im doing then:D
BTW, how the hell did you know that cheers chris |
forgot to ask, does the switch pull out?
how do i get to the sapde connectors |
Chris...how did I know? I used my switch for my blue strobe lights a while back :)
The switch can be removed by carefully (use a bit o' rag under) using a small flat 'driver to ease it out at each end of the switch. The actual switch housing has a long aperture and the plug that connects to it is on a very short lead...probably just 'tied up' under the dash. Do yourself a favour and SOLDER (not soldier) the connections then add some tape to 'protect' them, use long nose pliers to get down (not dancing) the 'long aperture'. You may have guessed by my wierd sense of humour that I have had some Russian 'back medicine'...it would have been a lot easier (for me) if you had 'phoned me!!! Good Luck :) |
Blue Strobe Lights ?
