Vauxhall / Opal Astra 2000 reversing light wiring for reversing sensors?
After 3 small knocks while reversing in 3 weeks I've bought a set of reversing sensors for my daughters Astra but am having problems with the wiring.
The instructions tell me to connect 1 wire to the reversing light wire at the rear light cluster, and the other to earth.
How do I tell which wire is the reversing light wire?
There's a bunch of wires (from the top - Black, Green, Blue, Grey, Brown & Yellow) with a terminal block at each end going to the rear light cluster, but which is the reversing light wire???.
Dear Neil,
I have done the same with my car, but only in my opel it was an
white cable with a black stripe (3rd one from the top).
If you have a volt meter (6-12 volts) turn on ignition(DO NOT START CAR) put in reverse and disconnect terminal, now check on which wire there is power, thats your wire.
You can also try this;
Turn on ignition (DO NOT START CAR) put in reverse and check if reverse lights are on, disconnect the terminal from the light cluster.
Reverse lights should be off now.
Now connect the earth (from the sensors) to metal on the car, and the put the other wire in one of the openings (5)from the terminal and try all off them until you hear your sensor working. You might have to make a movement in front off the sensor to make it work.
P.s.; make sure your lights are turned off!!!
Good luck.
Chris.
