Telephone Cord Wiring Job

[ah0bbs]

I just wired an x50 in my car using a telephone cord and 2 amp quick-blow fuse. Works great, except when I plug it into the cord it came with for use in another car the Alert LED stays lit the whole time.

Any ideas why?

Thanks

$6.99 12 ft. black telephone cable from Radio Shack with RJ11 plugs on each end.


Take a look at the plug ends. The one on the far left is the Passport's original RJ11 plug. The telephone cord has one end that matches (on the far right) and one that doesn't (in the middle). Cut off the end that doesn't match (middle) and keep the one that matches (this end will be plugged into the detector)


Hope this helps .......... :wink:

Just double-checked. Wiring is correct. Thanks for the idea and illustrations though.
