Control Wiring Diagram
Our standard wiring looms use coloured wire to help identify their purpose. The pins in the metal 8
pin plugs and sockets are identified with very small numbers.
If you do open either the plug or socket please ensure there is insulating material between the pins
and the outer casing.
On later models the deadmans switch is on the yellow control wire. This was done as to avoid
potential issues with sound systems that need to tap in to the potentiometer wires.
We would not recommend using sound systems that tap in to the control wires unless you can
guarantee there will be no interference with the function of the iDrive unit. Stray voltage from
sound systems have been known to cause controllers to power up or lock in full speed.
If you need to synchronise sound it is best to find a system that monitors power to the motors.
