  • Racor water detector alarm display

    Hi all,

    I recently installed a Racor filter and associated water detector alarm to my car.

    I like all accessories I fit to my car to have a low visual impact and wanted the water
    detect light to look a tad smarter than the supplied lamp so came up with
    the following solution and thought others might be interested.

    To tackle this project you will need to have reasonable electrical, soldering and
    mechanical skills.

    My solution was to use an after market fog lamp switch as used by others and
    myself for switching driving lights, a picture of the switch assembly is attached.

    I reconfigured the switch by dismantaling it, cutting the PCB tracks and rewiring as
    required, see attached wiring diagram. I substituted a super bright LED for the original
    switch on lamp and blacked out the press button with a permanent marker so that only
    the wavy lines are left to represent water.

    I have used one of the blank switch position to the left of the steering wheel to mount
    the switch.

    Piezzo alarm is glued behind the lower dash panel.

    A fair bit of mucking about but a very professional result was achieved.

    Fuctions as follow:

    When water detected siren sounds and bright red light indication from switch.

    To cancel audible alarm press switch, siren turns off. Note when switch is on the
    bright red light will remain on even if alarm clears to remind the driver to turn
    switch off.

    Cheers

      Hi waz2011,

      It wouldn't be cost effective for me to modify them on a commercial
      basis you would be looking at around $100. If there's enough call for
      something like this maybe one of the sellers who presently market
      similar switches and has the buying power could get some made up.

      Cheers

        ABR sidewinder has connections to make said switches but I would suggest that there would not be enough need to warrant the expense involved.
