Morning all
I'm in the world of pain that is a 1500 page PDF of all of the possible combinations of wiring anyone could ever imagine might have been needed for troubleshooting T6 electrics.
I have gleaned so far that SC56 is the magic fuse that's needed to start the van.
If I follow the black wire from the ignition switch in the diagrams that links to terminal 56 on fuse SC56. There is then a black/blue wire that heads off from terminal 56A towards the engine bay. Logic tells me that I should be able to locate the black wire somewhere between the steering column and deep under the dash behind SC56. I'm obviously going to have to make a joint somewhere awkward to get to in the depths of the dash - this can be made easier by cutting the black wire somewhere accessible and splicing in a length of black wire so I have a loop of slack to do my shenanigans on and then tuck that away with a couple of cable ties somewhere to make it awkward to get to.
So questions, is that reasonable? or is there some crafty trick that everyone else does instead?
What I don't want to do is get in the way of the start-stop gubbins or break the immobiliser etc etc.
Of course, security and all, the information on how to chop in a kill switch is scarce in all of the places I've been looking so I'm doing empirical research. I am about to do some tests using a nifty 3d printed fake fuse that will allow me to check (the always check twice, before cutting, check) when that fuse is needed and when it can be safely disconnected without breaking anything.
My final plan is to embed the wiring into the loom, so the switch won't be defeated simply by pulling the fake fuse and popping a real one in. Unless that is what everyone else does.
Once I've got it all figured out I'll write it up and include links etc as needed.
This is an interesting approach to hiding a kill switch:
