Hi
I am trying to fit reverse parking sensors to a Nissan Micra. There are two
wires on the unit that have to be connected to the reverse light circuit on
the Micra. One red and one black.
There are five wires feeding the rear lights unit on the Micra. Two are red.
One is black. One is dark green and the other one is light green.
I have to find out which ones are feeding the reverse light so that when the
car goes in to reverse, the digital display is activated.
I am going to use a multimeter to test the leads. I am going to switch the
gear of the Micra into reverse so that the reverse light comes on. Then I am
going to probe the leads so I can find out which wires are the ones
providing the circuit for the reverse lights.
Question is? What is the best way to probe leads?? Should I snick a little
hole in to the insulation so I can put the probe directly in to the wire??
Would I be correct in assuming that the two most likely wires are one of the
reds, and the black, (in the Micra)??
Grateful for any help. Dont want to do any damage to the Micra which belongs
to a friend.
