That's the one I just bought Matt In the meantime back in the garage, I just took the Lucas relay apart, cleaned points and put back on. tested it and it is now lighting the bulb on the test lamp. It is a steady bright glow and that's enough for me for now
I dunno I just paid for it on ebay an hour ago. Matty says its ok and he is an electrician so guessing it should be?
ok, I think i'll get one I have no idea how they work so it's another learning curve, drove the van today with the new windows in (see what have you done today etc) it was lovely and smooth also a better understanding to the mph per gear per revs nicely,
without a test lamp or meter you could pull off the neg terminal off the LB and confirm that something thats connected to it only works with the engine running, this is assuming that what ever it is is earthed to the chassis and nut just earthed back to the LB. then you will know that it is switching on on off.
I have nothing connected yet scrote. just the battery. I need to go out and get a fuse box of some sort now. thanks anyway
A good how to on useing a meter http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/how-to-using-a-multimeter-and-testing-for-faults.4688/ Not sure on how good the meter is but its cheep and says it does the stuff you need
mods, can I change my user name, someone else on here says they read it as scrote instead of scote, now its confirmed that others do too. Its a nickname I've had for years, my real name is scott
Came this morning - tested L battery without ignition 13. running with tester at the relay connection 14.
