I bet you wish you were 20 years younger haha.
One needs the flexibility of Houdini to penetrate the nooks and crannies
to trace wires and connectors, it's no laughing matter eh ... as I so
painfully remember. All the more depressing when the wiring methodology
is exposed for all to be incredulous about.
See if you can get at and check out the condition of the micro
switch/connectors under and at the back of the sink that operates the
cold water tap. I found the wires to the connectors were left hanging,
the weight of the wires swinging about lasted just long enough for me to
touch them and the micro switch connectors disintegrated. It'd be a
lovely pickle to have that happen a long way from home.
If I was inspired enough, probably I could write a book about the Trakka
wiring system. Well if I was a masochist that is.
Cheers.

Gday Les,

any level of Trakka conversion, but it was an optional extra for any
level of conversion. Makes sense as Phill says, they would have had
Cobra do the install whenever ordered by a customer. Cheers.

Well you wouldn't want Trakka doing any complex wiring, would you?
