Re-Wiring Hotwired Ignition

Post by ashleywakeling »

Hi All,

I need some advice on how to rewire my ignition barrel after it was hotwired when stolen over the weekend. The only wire still attached to the barrel is the Brown with Blue tracer, I seem to have a thick white one, a thin white one and a white and red one? That may not be right, but I'm not actually with the car at the moment, does anyone have a picture or diagram of a correctly wired ignition barrel?

Thanks

The whites go together on 2, the white/red goes on 1. If they are not marked turn the key to position 1 and touch the white wire to the other terminals in turn. The correct terminal will be evident because your ignition light will come on.
Glad you got your car back.
