HI

Do you have the Monte Carlo type with silver strips visible on the screen - If so the outer 2 wires are the live feed and the central wire is the earth

Now it depends if you want the whole screen to work or the left side / right side / both sides - this is where it gets a little complex

Hi :)
As Paul has inferred it all depends on the switch! Have a look here >> http://mk1-performance-conversions.co.u ... heated.pdf

This may be of assistance this diagram is not for the works switch!! If you understand electric diagrams on the works cars the switch ( P13-1-7530 A) varies the earth and power connections on the screen. let us know what switch you are using and we may be able to help. 8-)

Paul (Pad 4) Does this Stanton switch (that seems prevalent on E-bay) switch the screen correctly, 1/4 Power, Full power, Drivers side only :?: :?

You should be able to work it out off the wiring diagram on the main site! "White & Black Lucas" If this is the illuminated switch that is what Lucas supplied with their screens, wire through a relay as diagram, tape up the CENTRE WIRE! Power in one side, Earth the other. You will have 1/4 power should pull approximately 3 Amps. If you feed power to both sides and earth the centre wire the screen will pull approximately 10 Amps. Use wire sizes as stated on wiring diagram. R=V/I :idea: :?

:!: PLEASE NOTE THESE POWER FIGURES WERE TAKEN OF A TRIPLEX WINDSCREEN OTHER MAKES OR EVEN NEWER WINDSCREENS MAY DRAW MORE CURRENT :!: :shock:

Yes & Yes !
But you probably only need 10 Amps for short periods (thats a lot of current!). That is why they used the timer or TOK ;) 8-)
