Oh and if youre screwing the ground connection into the roof of the car you should scrape the paint off to ensure you're getting metal on metal contact.

Thanks Gents,
I re-crimped (sp?) the connector and it's working!
I just hoped I did'nt screw anything up?
Cheers,

[quote name='JDN' date='Jan 1 2005, 07:19 PM']I used the V1 connector successfully. The green and yellow wires are the switched 12V connections. My connector took a minute or two to finish biting through the insulation after I clamped it. I has been working like a charm since. I hooked into the yelllow/green wire going into the rain sensor and grounded on one of the screws into the body overhead. Be sure you are well grounded.
