Distribution Terminal +X

Distribution Terminal +X:




Operation

The positive supply is taken from the battery 1 to ignition switch 20 across the distribution block 75 and the white 29-pole connector 152A.

When the ignition switch is set to the parked, drive or start position, terminals 30 and X of the ignition switch will be interconnected. The +X supply will then be connected to fuse 20 and light switch 10.

The supply to fuse 20 differs somewhat, depending on the model year of the car.

On certain markets, the +X supply is also used for the burglar alarm (connector 289).

Fault-tracing hints
1. Check the battery voltage.
2. Check the terminals of distribution block 75.
3. Check the terminals in the 29-pole connectors 152 and the 12-pole connector 58. The latter is located below the facia, to the left of the steering wheel (behind the knee guard).
4. Check that the supply to each component is live.
5. Check the relevant wiring.
