Was the old lighter lit up at night , it may be the feed for that

Cheers

no it wasn`t but the new one does have that option but i have tryed a few time to wire it up but i keep blowing the fuses

anyone help

do you have a tester ?? voltmeter ??

i know which one is live due to the kit coming with a little light so i have touched each wire with that and when the yellow lights up that is the live one ,i thought it would have been the black
its the thick yellow one

black will be earth . probably t wll be yellow to the centre of the lighter socket and black to the outsides

my i key isnt working properly

well i let you know thanks for that so the other yellow wire what would that be for then thanks mate

turn the ignition on see if the yellow becomes live {if not} turn your lights on see if it becomes live
