I cannot guarantee anything but I can take a look if you post it down. Someone else on here might be a bit more tech savvy, pwood, maybe? Or Neilly, he used to work in IT. He's not so far from me either.

I am back at the moment, yes!
I can't guarantee I could fix it either - my faultmate is the baby version with just the BECM CPU module installed, as that's all I use it for.. But I DO have Vehicle explorer installed, and on a machine with an actual serial port - so I am happy to take a look and see if there is anything obvious going on with it if you wanted to send it to sunny Swindon. I don't have a lot else happening at the moment Well, other than having rebuilt my BECM tester, and slowly going through and testing all the random BECMs I have kicking about here, so I can get an inventory of what's working and the versions!
If you want to send it, then drop me a PM. If you send all the cables etc, then I can check it all out - I have a couple of Windows 7 machines, and a Windows 10 one aswell, so can check on various platforms. I can also repair the cable if required.

Just an update, finished cutting the conifer hedges,all 64 meters of them I decided to check the orb2 to series cable.decided to do the modification as per wiring diagram. due to the effects of the strokes and lack of dexterity I decided to join an odb with wiring to a series with wiring. Had to give up due to tiredness, will resume tomorrow and report back. Should have gone with the kind offer from @Datatek and @martyuk . Only time will tell..keep safe everyone.

The offer is still there - I'll be home for the foreseeable future! I am in the middle of sorting out and testing a load of BECMs I have here (about 20 of them I think!) and have sucessfully managed to actually trace and repair some logic board faults on some of those spare boards that I have too...
After that it's onto HEVAC controllers, window switchpacks, and door latches.... so wiring a faultmate cable would almost be a nice break! haha..
Let us know how you get on - and if you do decide you want to send any of it down, then just drop me a message!

Any idea where in the BECM I would look to find the bit that switches the rear nearside interior light?

Thanks mate, one more attempt this morning, I hate being beaten, unlike the rumour that @holidaychicken spreads.

The word ‘denial’ springs to mind !Thanks mate, one more attempt this morning, I hate being beaten, unlike the rumour that @holidaychicken spreads.
You say you hate it but you chose our safe word, which is “harder”- don’t blame me for getting carried away.
Anyway house calls are going to be extra and no your gimp mask doesn’t comply to WHO regulations but my birch branch s 2 metres long so at least I’m safe.
Oh and another thing, the rough end of a pineapple doesn’t count as one of your ‘‘5 a day’
