Voltage Stabiliser

Jan 19, 2007 3 Replies

Hi,



I'm looking for some advice on wirng up a replacement set of instruments to my Mini.



In the standard 3 instrument dash there is a voltage stabiliser burried away inside it. It is shown on the wiring diagrams as a square with 3 connections. These are as follows:



E - Connected to chassis B - Connected to the negative side of the oil and alternator warning lights I - Connected to the negative side of fuel and temp guages



Does anyone know anything about this voltage stabiliser e.g. what is it's purpose (apart from stabilising voltage), how it works, is it possible to buy a seperate component to do the job, is it needed?



Thanks, Chris.


Is this what you are after?

Thanks for the info guys.

The dash is from a late model. I noticed the bi-metalic strip tacked on the back of the fuel / temp gauge but wasn't 100% that this was what I was looking for. It certainly doesn't have the appearance of a seperate component like the one on the Smiths datasheet.

Cheers, Chris.

Remove all but 'E' this will cure your problem, connect as usual
