Chrism001 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Hi im in need of some advice. Im installing a greddy electric boost controller and tried to connect the live to the ashtray light in the centre console. Now the car is acting wierd, heaters are blowing without the keys in the ignition, i started the car, it fired but then i turned it off and pulled the key out the ignition it kept running for a couple of mins then turned off on its own? Also just found out when i pull the key out the ignition nothing happens but has a 1 minute delay before it all shuts down? Any one had this experience or know what damage ive done? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated edit- ive unwired the boost controller and still have this problem. so have I damaged the original wiring? accidently connected to the earth instead of live and shorted something out?

Chrism001 Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Thanks for the quick replys, ive been playing about with it and found if i disconnect the cigarette light fuse everything goes back to normal. So im guesing ive damaged the wires feeding the cigerette light some how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
