Howdy knowledgeable electrics guys....

I have fitted an NF Fairlane cluster to my EDL wagon but am at a bit of a loss how to correctly wire the door ajar sensors. I have had a look at the tech docs on the subject but it doesn't explain everything (not that I can see anyway).

I created my 12 pin plug and have 6 wires hanging out of the bottom of the dash. However, the 6 things that need wiring produces 12 wires.

First up, where do you "attach" the negative wires - ground them to the body or do you tap into a black wire running around the car?

Second, I have fitted an EL fuel door and that does not seem to have anywhere to put the magnet and I just cannot see where to attach the sensor side of things within the fuel filler area? Any suggestions...

Third, currently I have 5 flashing things on the dash - the 4 doors and the fuel flap. The tailgate (boot) however is not flashing. How is this wired, especially in an ED/EF/EL which does not have a light "switch" for the rear interior light?

Please remember that I am a neophyte when it comes to wiring things, so please be gentle when explaining things...

Thanks in advance

Will do matey, wanna chat about one of those coolant bottles as well

RD if the sensors function anything like those in a NA-NC2, the wires earth onto the body. I ran the wires from the cluster to each of those little pesky black switches in the locking mechanism. The other wire from each switch, I earthed them out onto the door behind the door trim.

Bingo! Thanks banarcus

Thats the info I was after. I had a suspicion that the earths could just be grounded as I have been stripping the ED wiring I pulled out and all the black wires ended up being screwed/bolted to the body. Now I only have to work out the fuel flap and tailgate....

they do and are much easier to source.
