W-bus output appeared on my voltmeter as 12v continuous when idle, which fluctuated down to about 8v for 3 short pulses and then back to 12v when the signal was sent to fire or shut down.

Hope this helps Question

RobSmith and 10forcash had a discussion earlier about FBHs which already had pin 2 occupied by a red wire. Mine is the same. 10for cash suggested cutting it but then siad it might need reprograming.

RobSmith, (or anyone else) did you do this and how did you get on? Did you need reprograming?

10forcash, what symptoms would indicate that reprograming is required?

FHB up and running

Wow,

Finally got it up and running ! Rigged up test wires in Feb, no go, but had not seen it working on cold mornings for a while (in fact not since it burnt the power wire on my chip and turned the engine into a smoke generator James Bond would be proud of Laughing Recently sent D3 in to get rear wiper motor replaced under warranty and asked them to look at the FHB, Now sorted and test fire worked straight away, After that all worked really well, ran trigger wire around engine bay by popping it inside the bonnet seal, there seems to be a good recess in it and dont think it will rub through. Rolling Eyes

My truck is a 06 model (55 plate) reg in Nov 05 and had the red wire to pin 2 on the FHB, have connected timer wire to it with no problems i.e. both original and timer wire now connected (but it is early days ! Rolling Eyes )

Especailly pleased with mounting of timer on interior light panel Thumbs Up

Thanks again to those great instructions Bow down
