Hello,
today I decided to put Magneti Marelli LPQ080 daytime running lights in my vectra. There are two ways to connect in the instructions:
standard red + for battery black - battery, blue for + parking stands, yellow leave unconnected. The second optional scheme for start / stop engines or hybrids, identically only yellow, additionally connected to + on a pin in the fuse box where, after turning the ignition switch to the ON position, 12V voltage appears. The set has an external machine, we connect the leds to the machine with ready-made cubes, i.e. as standard. I am disarmed by the instruction of connecting the machine directly to the battery, because the led lights are on all the time, regardless of whether the engine is running and is charging or switched off, the LEDs are on. I did this: in the fuse box in the engine compartment I looked for a free pin with + 12V after turning the ignition switch and disappears after turning it off. Minus I gave under the battery minus (on the clamp there is such a small screw under which the eye terminated the cable end) I have not connected the control panel to the stop, I do the test, I turn the ignition switch, the LEDs start, I turn off the ignition switch. It's ok. I took out the cube from the reflector, found where the pin appears + 12V after turning on the parking lot and the quick connector connected the blue cable with the + 12V parking cable, I turn the ignition switch, I look and the LEDs turn off for a fraction of a second every 3s, turn on the parking stops, turn off the parking lights , only that they blink gently cyclically every 3s. So a few attempts to turn on and off the parking lots, I look, sometimes after switching off the parking leds immediately start, sometimes only after a few seconds, then go out, in a moment they light up again. I think I'll try with this extra yellow wire. I connected it with + 12V red in the fuse box and the problem disappeared, a dozen or so attempts, immediately after switching off the stands, the leds start firing and there are no more nativity scenes, however, they go out cyclically every 3 seconds, blinking for a fraction of a second. I suspect that this is due to the can bus system or as it is called there which checks and communicates the error of a defective bulb. Of course, at the moment it does not show me this error (all bulbs in working order) I suspect this, because when I unhook the blue control cable from the quick connector it is known that they will not go out when I start the parking stands, but then they do not blink. I measured the reflector's cube, it is known when I turn on the stop on its pin is + 12V, and when I turn it off it is still 0.05V on the pin and it cycles to 0.16 0.20V every 3s. Probably why they blink. Apparently there are some relays that eliminate this problem, but nowhere I can read exactly what relay to use, replace the entire machine or just add a relay, if you add what and where to plug it?
I look forward to the responses of experts in this field and best regards.
