Re: Door switch wiring, 05 GU wagon

Typically, the interior light works off a switched negative, not a switched positive. So the interior light, typically, the bulb has a constant positive on one side. You put the switch to "on" and it just earths out the other side to the body, switching it to "door" changes it so it hooks to the ...

Re: Death Wobbles

Rear shaft will give you vibes but not death wobbles. Check the tie rod ends for play. Inadequate swivel hub bearing preload would be my second bet. Fair call. Yep, I'd be looking at what Ray185 has said. Did you replace em yourself? When? Did you miss something? Kingpin bearings? Did you shim it ...

Re: Death Wobbles

Thanks guys

Bearings and bushes all new, not shackel pins either, with drive shaft do you mean front or rear? Front is not turning in 2wd and still happening, will try change rear on one end by 90 degrees and see if that helps.

Re: Air locker difficult to disengage

They don't release easily under load as the gears are locked, relaese some throttle and you may find it will release. Quick test is to try engage while stopped and then just roll forward after unlocking and it should pop out otherwise time to pull apart.

Re: Steel tyre valves for beadlocks

Bike ones need a groove cut into them or they do not air down properly, once done with good cleanup to remove any metal bits and they will work.

Re: LED Brake Tail Lights Backfeeding

A simple diode will fix this, allows the 12v DC to travel only one way and blocks the other way. It will need to be installed "in line" by cutting the wire to the light and soldering or crimping it in.
