Suprab1 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I've got a new LED for my toad 606 alarm since i broke my old led off. I went to wire my new led in but i don't know what wires are what. The new led has positive & earth but the toad has red, green & yellow. Any ideas how to wire this in as i need my led working to keep any little hooligans away from my car.

d_d Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 i take it you dont see much domestic wiring, normally green and yellow is earth and red live or postive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjgreen3 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Its a Colour changing LED, it should have three legs and depending on what mode the alarm is in it should change colour from red through to green. I don't know what the terminations are but I *THINK* you will have a permanent postive and two switched negatives. Maybe someone will correct me if I'm wrong. You could trial and error it by disarming the alarm and finding the combination that lights the LED up green, then arm the alarm and see if the LED goes red and flashes.

Lude Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 ive got a toad alarm, mine has the same LED (yellow green & red) its not the same model, i can try and have a look where it plugs to tho if ur really stuck. PS as per the note above, i wired a LED in on an old alarm before, and it stopped the alarm sounding lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 i take it you dont see much domestic wiring, normally green and yellow is earth and red live or postive I have done a bit of wiring & this is what i thought but when i tested the wires it seems the yellow has constant power not the red. Its a Colour changing LED, it should have three legs and depending on what mode the alarm is in it should change colour from red through to green. I don't know what the terminations are but I *THINK* you will have a permanent postive and two switched negatives. Maybe someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes the yellow seems to be permanent positive. The led i have got is just a universal as toad wouldn't get back to me anytime i asked to buy an led, so it only has two wires. All i want is it to flash when armed because there has been a few cars broken into lately. So i suppose if i can find out what wire is for the armed earth. ive got a toad alarm, mine has the same LED (yellow green & red) its not the same model, i can try and have a look where it plugs to tho if ur really stuck. PS as per the note above, i wired a LED in on an old alarm before, and it stopped the alarm sounding lol This is why i'm afraid to just try joining wires, know in my luck my car will get immobilised lol.
