hi i have savage switchs fitted in my car but they dont light up bllue they work thought what do i need to do for them to light up

You need to take a "trigger" switching live from something.

Most people use the Output from the Savage switch for the Sidelights.

The output is usually Pin 2.

Just make a loop from Pin 2 Sidelights to the +ve side of the centre (illumination) of the switch. And then Loop to the other +ve centre 2.5mm terminals.

You then need an earth to the -ve side.

You should be able to just do a similar loop to all the -ve terminals in the centre and then join it to a decent chassis earth.

It is all realatively simple and should only take you about 30 mins max.

Give me a shout Terry (U2U) if you have any probs, I'd be happy to help mate.

If you are struggling mate, then take a quick snap of the dash (front and back) and I will make you a small loom up so all you need to do is plug it in! No worries at all!

I'll include some destructions for it too if you would like, so you won't get anything in the wrong place...

Let me know if you are interested, it wouldn't be any trouble mate!

Steve

Edit - Actually, just a photo of the front will be enough!

Yes, but yours is 45 miles away and I don't have a car for a couple of weeks, I can make Terry's in about 5 mins and post it to him!

I'll hopefully do your Dash tomorrow night!

I've got Derek's (Jubal) here too! So he'll prob tell me off aswell as you!

Lighting up the svages is simple by taking feed from sidelight circuit then connecting to each o fthe switches.

For the hazard - i found my digidash indicator warning lamps dont work when ignition is off. I wired up the hazard switch light so it flashed when hazards are on. Had to take feed from indicators via diodes. Must remember where i put the wiring diagram for that. Mave was asking for it yesterday.
