    I am trying to figure out a wiring diagram that is in French, please somebody enlighten me to what "APC" stands for? I've tried Google but nothing I can make sense of. I have managed all the other words and abbreviations but this has me baffled! For example Sortie eclairage auvent (autorisee uniquement avec la presence du +APC):confused: Sorry cant get the grave accent on the keyboard

    maybe if you posted the diagram, but I still can't figure out why you think AH is the place to ask this kind of question.

    I think it is referring to Earth.

    Word to the wise, never take electrical advice from someone who says they 'think'.

    Is not AFTER HOURS for anything? Not on a wiring diagram only in the reference to one of the circuits!

    APC relates to what we'd call a UPS. BTW, FYI. Big smile. It's a back-up power supply. IMO, DSMIIW.

    Is it to do with a Renault uch module?

    maybe it has something to do with a relay

    Surely the French or electronics forums would be more suitable than AH

    "APC" means you have to burn your house down, I'm fluent.

    Really ?

    As opposed to Venusian or Martian French perhaps.

    Hoof up a pic of the schematic so we can get an idea of what it may be. Symbols on electrical drawings can give big clues.

    Sortie après contact. There's a positive output on the circuit after the contact (ignition) point, if your car has one.

    I'd say it's more the permanent live feed, input rather than output.
