interior light circuit

[Euan]

i need to gain access to this circuit. does any1 know what fuse its on or the best way to get to it.

also can the fuse box drop down so i can gain access to the wires attached to it?

Doea it not say on the inside of the fuse cover? It is the same circuit as your clock and head unit i think. I dont know the fuse number but it is on the bottom row third in from the right!

I'm sure its fuse 16 - 20amp - runs off the clock. Thats wot haynes says anyway (wiring for 92 nova mind!)

basically i need to wire my alarm into this circuit so its activated when the light is activated. do you know the best way to get the wires??

[ade]

your light is activated when the doors open (drivers/passenger),

Theres a pin switch on the door edge - when this earths the light comes on.

i rigged one of my alarm sensors to the wire on the switch - when it earths (drop in current), the alarm sounds.

Its the same circuit as the interior light.

You'll need to remove the parcel shelf and the A frame side trim (remove the door edge sill protctor too - remove the foam insert then put yer hand in the gap. You'll feel a spade type connector - trace the wire back and splice in.

yeh i looked at that switch yesterday. but wasnt sure which of the 2 wires to cut into.

just use the one on the passenger side.... there is only one wire there..... where have you placed the alarm main control box?

[Euan]

there isnt an alarm control box. the main horn unit is in the engine bay and i've ran the loom into the drivers footwell.
