Hi, I got a Mk4 Escort

Just had the dash out & chopped all about to fit the Corsa EPAS...got it all back in except new thick red supply wire in engine bay don't know where to put it

Have bought 50A fuse & holder to connect inline, just need that ignition-switched-relayed live to connect to, can anyone tell me where's a good place?

All replies gratefully received

 

Vauxhall run it off the alternator output that's why the alternator packs up on them you got no power steering as to the relay trigger I would use the run wire off the back of the ignition its either thick black or thick red cant remember which .one is crank one is run

 

Did you buy the kit?

 

No just a Corsa B column motor & module, chopped the escort column & spliced it in

I thought it might be off the alternator but i get what you're saying, connect straight to batt through my own relay & use the ignition live to switch the relay, brill idea

Can I just go to a motor factors & ask for a 12v relay?! Or do you have any idea what to ask for. Ta

 

Needs to be a 40amp minimum.

 

Excellent cheers

 

Update: all fitted & works great! Thanks again chaps
