ARB on board compressor

[fourbyphil Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close fourbyphil]

Hi all,
I have just installed a CKMA12 and am looking for the easiest way to hook up the illumination wire. I have a 120 series GXL 1KZTE manual and don't have the idle up button , any ideas? I have installed the switch above the fuse box on the drivers side
Cheers
Phil

The cig lighter should have an integral light that is easy to tap into.

I am installing mine pretty soon and I've been advised to take the illumination from the ashtray wiring. There seems to be a few of these compressor going in vehicles in time for the GTG!!

Thanks iantz,
So I ended up taking the illumination wire from a loom sitting directly behind the ashtray, found this a bit easier than using the ciggie lighter (less dash to pull apart this way I think). It is easy to pick, if you have a GXL it will be already disconnected. On one end of the plug there is a green wire which is easy to piggy back into, and no need to extend the ARB loom either. Hope this helps.
I must mention LaFar's excellent thread on the compressor install, it was very helpful.
cheers
