Wild_and_Irish 11 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I was told to rewire my striker but when I opened it all the connections seemed fairly strong and had a rubber sleeve over them, not really sure what I can do other than tape over them. Quote Link to post

Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 What's the extra bit on the handle webby? Looks like a new switch to me Quote Link to post
webby 31 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Yeah its a switch and the red bit is about 2" long 12 volt from a car parts shop along with red and black 5amp cable in the tails with 15amp spade connecters. the bayonet fitting on the standard in line fuse case is flimsy and broke so i just left it out. My standard on/off switch broke and i had the switch spare from the land rover so just used that. Quote Link to post
