J.C 10 Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Instructions [ATTACH=CONFIG]78574[/ATTACH] remove ashtray, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78575[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78576[/ATTACH] Remove ashtray housing, phillips screwdriver, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78577[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78578[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78579[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78580[/ATTACH] Carefully prise panel away with a flat screwdriver, Be carefull as the plastic is old and potentially brittle, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78582[/ATTACH] Once again be carefull in prising away the original light rings, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78583[/ATTACH] Position new panel with the lead exiting at the cigarrette lighter area, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78584[/ATTACH] Optional, refit the green light ring, this is a bit tricky to fit as you need to bend the faceplate to get the tabs in place, if you couldn't refit the green ring, the panel can be fixed in place by bluetac etc, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78585[/ATTACH] Loosen the cigarrette lighter by sliding it to the left and pulling forward, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78586[/ATTACH] Feed panel lead through the opening above the cigarrette lighter, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78587[/ATTACH] refit the panel, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78588[/ATTACH] refit the cigarrette lighter, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78589[/ATTACH] lay the blue wire (to ashtray light) into the connector as shown, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78591[/ATTACH] clamp the blue cable between the connectors halves, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78592[/ATTACH] feed the invertors red wire into the right channel and make sure it goes all the way in to the end (about 15mm), crimp the cables with a pair of pliers, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78593[/ATTACH] secure the locking tab, [ATTACH=CONFIG]78594[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78595[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78596[/ATTACH] repeat for the other wires (brown to the ashtray light and the invertors black wire), [ATTACH=CONFIG]78597[/ATTACH] optional, I covered my invertor with some pipe lagging foam I had lying around in the garage, it's not neccasary but stops any potential rattling. [ATTACH=CONFIG]78598[/ATTACH] connect panel to the invertor and position invertor into area behind the ashtray, Refit the ashtray housing. THE PANEL OPERATES AT A HIGH AC VOLTAGE (approx 200V) SO THEREFORE IS DANGEROUS, I HAVE SEALED THE EDGES BUT THE UNIT SHOULD ONLY BE POWERED UP ONCE ALL THE PANEL HAVE BEEN PUT BACK, I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO SUPPLY A GOOD PRODUCT AND DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS BUT IF YOU FEEL IT IS NOT WITHIN YOUR CAPABILITIES OR YOU ARE UNHAPPY IN ANY WAY, YOU CAN RETURN THE PRODUCT FOR A FULL REFUND ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK, Steve Edited May 12, 2014 by J.C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon_vr6 1 Posted May 14, 2014 I presume its a good idea to remove the power from battery to do this job? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.C 10 Posted May 14, 2014 Hi You don't have to isconect the battery because, The unit turns on with the light switch and that will of course be off, also by the time you connect the panel to the invertor (little 2 pin plugs) the panel is safe and sound already installed in the dash, Just to reiterate, I have been handling these panels and have not had any problems but I just want to sure. However, no matter how carefull you are, silly mistakes can be made, like the time I couldn't be arsed to get my wire strippers and proceded to strip the wires with my teeth only to find it was still connected to a powered invertor, that was a bit of a shock:bonk: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
