Hi Aaron, Nah, I'm too lazy to pull everything back to the main distribution points. I tapped into one of the gray/blue wires feeding the window switches. ;-)
Interestingly, while most MB switches require switching the negative/ground lead (due to internal wiring of the illuminations LED's), the recirc switch actually allows positive switching because it has a separate ground soley for the two LED's. The only other switch I've found that does this is the defroster, which has two NO contacts, one of which is tied to the red LED. In the recirc switch, the red LED is totally separate, which is kinda cool - gives you more options. You come across these things in your PnP travels much? :-) -Dave M. > ------------------------------ > Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 19:19:10 -0800 > From: Aaron Lam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] Limo console wood install report (W124) > > > Dave, > > For illumination did you splice into the existing grey/blue wires in > the center console, or did you run wires under the dash to the main > illumination distribution block thingy? > > -Aaron > 1987 300D > 1987 300TD
