On the loom there is two plugs the same, one for the input side of the ignitor one for a resistor pack looking thing, I had the loom sitting in the shed for 9 months or so, before I started shortening up all the wires I plugged all the accessories ignitor etc into what I assumed was the plugs they belonged to, turns out I had the ignitor inputs plugged into the resistor pack looking thing and vise versa. Like I said was a bit of a stuff up :)
