    Checked the black wire without resistor and it was 12V (running from 12V supply for now) which means there is a resistor in the sensor and I can't wire it as a simple switch. Used method Clive posted and worked out the value as around 5k ohm

    So I can work out the other resistor required to complete the divider except I need to factor in the Bob resistor

    Tried to check Bob resistance across pins with multimeter (board was off) and got no reading at all. What is the method to determine this resistance
