things wrong with my new forfour

[mr singh]

Perhaps i wasn't clear in my explanation


I know which wires to tap in to, but the wires that connect to the sub to the radio speaker wires dont have any information on the sub saying which wire goes where...

[Problemchild]

??

But there is a picture of what wires go where

1 pic shows the wires going into the sub

1 pic shows the words going into the radio

And then I wrote it all out

If I am on the same wavelength as mr singh....
he is aware of which wires go where at the ISO/Quadlock end,
but there does not appear to be any info on which wire goes
where at the subwoofer end as he hasn't got that lead.

Maybe someone who already has the OEM subwoofer in their
car will find the time to pull the plug out of their subwoofer
and checkout/readoff the colours.  And if they do so, could they
then pop a post up with the layout...preferably with a diagram
to show which colour wires go where...B U T at the
subwoofer socket fitting side...not at the plug at the end
of the cable.

Have I got that right mr singh..and explained it clearly enough ?

[mr singh]

your partly there 'G'

i know which wires to splice in to at the back of the radio, no problem

the sub i fitted to my 1.1, a clarion powered sub, came with information as to which wires went where. there are 2 connectors at the back of the sub, 1 with 2 powers and an earth in a 4 way connector and 1 with 4 wires that go to, im guessing the speakers in a 6 way connector, however i either binned the information or its in my tool box somewhere.

now the 4 way connector with 3 wires is easy to understand, a live, an ignition and an earth. the 6 way connector with 4 wires has 2 gray wires and 2 gray with black tracer.

i may have found where to get the information for the wiring but the sub is in a box in the boot of my car and its cold out...

tweeters have been ordered and should be arriving soon, the parts lad at merc will hand them to his dad as he is our service driver or drop them off as he is passing.

(i did take pics of what wires went where at the OEM sub in that thread)

thats just for the front half... its only available as a full lever from Mercedes.

the 'handles' ain't separate

[Problemchild]

what do you mean by "front half"

you don't have the BRABUS one??

JJ

[mr singh]

I have the 'leather' brabus handbrake leaver not the metal shiney one. Your guide refers to removing the handle half of the leaver (the front half) and not the whole mechanism, which is what i need

[Problemchild]

?

the whole leather/metal/brabus/gaitor comes off with that 1 grub screw

JJ

[mr singh]

...and the button?

Rather expensive.....just to replace the button.....
even more so when there was a thread back in May on getting
a suitable replacement for it for just £18 !

(3rd post down from hei731...and 5th post down from lil.smartie

[mr singh]

that is for a button for the standard handbrake leaver not the brabus versions 'G'!

[Problemchild]

well taking all that off is the only way to access the button.....

an engineering company would make you one for 1/10th of that

when you say the "whole mechanism" you mean the whole lever that the cable attaches to??
