Well I went away on holiday and the dreaded wireless receiver issue killed my brand new Yuasa battery so badly it wont charge (so back off to Halfrauds for a replacement as it really shoudlnt do that!). Luckily the fob hasn't lost sync this time and I got him started using my MG as a jumper. 25 minutes running and the battery would only reach 10v (I tried charging for 24 hours yesterday with my charger and assumed the charger was broken!).
Anyway therefore I want to do a permanent fix for this rediuculous issue. I was thinking of a version of the 'second keyfob' fix. Rather than having yet another fob, which switched a relay to switch the receiver on and off before I use the actual LR fob, I want to put a switch in the circuit. I will run it up through teh rear hatch and down to the numberplate light panel, then have the switch nestled in the 'handle' part.
Switch to on position - wireless on
Switch to off possition - wireless off
Simples!
Question is what wire should 'switch'? Once I know that it should be very simple (and very cheap) to solve the issue once and for all! After all I never use the fob unless I am by the car anyway, so a mnaual switch is ideal.
