VY S series 2
Can somebody tell me a wire that is easy to access from the front dash that will give 12v when the lights are turned on, a wire that turns on the interior illumination for the controls and stuff.

thanks,
Jase

Are you talking dash lights or dome light?

Dash lights are easy - find the wire going into the cigarette lighter light & splice into it.

Dome lamp is a little harder - there are 2 wires, orange, and orange/white going up the middle pillar to the light. Orange is 12V+ constant, and white.orenge (or at the switches just white) is switched to ground to control the light.

Interior Lights

Hey another question, if ALL my interior lights dome, glove box & boot lights don't work, where is it likely to have lost the feed? You can still hear the relay cut in but no interior lights at all????

Yes, but check for earth signal from at the BCM as well - as it also controls the switching (and is probably the relay you hear clicking)

VP S Model
behind the front surround of the VP is additional looms for wireing switches similar to the aircon one...does anyone know if its possible to wire one of the spare looms to 2 neons using another aircon switch?
