Quick Please - Lilliput Egg Wires - Installing Now

**tbird2340** · 09-08-2004, 05:08 PM

I'm wanting to hard wire my Lilli to my head unit. I cut off the cig adapter and used butt splices to wire it. I did the following

WT/BK From Lilli to RD from HU
BK From Lilli to BK from HU

Is this correct? I turned my key on ACC and I didn't get any juice from my Lilli. I don't want to try anything else until I find out for sure if I'm doing this right.

Thanks a lot!

Off the top of my head I can't remember, but the positive on the cig. lighter is the middle pin. Thus is the middle pin was connected to the WT/BK then you are indeed correct.

Ok.. I didn't get any juice when I hooked up the Lilli as stated above (WH/BK to RD and BK to BK). I then unhooked them and re hooked them back up to the cig adapter and got power.

Question is... Why didn't it work when I tapped into the HU? My HU's wiring is as follows:

RD - 12V Accessory / Switched
YW - 12V Constant Power Supply
BK - Ground

What wires on my head unit should I hook my Lilli up to so it has power when the vehicle is on or is in ACC and no power when it is off??

Something VERY strange is going on...

I just hooked the WT/BK from the egg up to my YW wire from my head unit WITHOUT hooking up the BK (ground) wire from the egg and the Lilli had power. This is constant which I don't want.

So I then hooked the WT/BK from the egg to my RD (Accessory) on my HU and I got power when the truck was in ACC. How come it's working WITHOUT the ground attached and how come it DOESN"T work WITH IT attached??

Should I just leave it un attached??

that's very strange indeed... try physically grounding the black wire from the egg (to a bolt or something). Maybe the BK on the headunit is not ground ???
