Friday wasn't a good day, i started out with 2 goals, make the behind the dash warning "Beeps" quieter and sort out my intermittent climate control problem of no blower unless on min or max, so i went for the internal temp sensor behind the dash, i think i may have discovered a bad connection cos now it responds to differing internal temps and blows accordingly.
Next instrument panel about and fit a resistor in line to the speaker at rear of the cluster, i found that anything less then 17 ohm wont make a difference so if anyone else is planing this get 3 resistors, a 20, a 25 and 30 ohm and choose the volume thats suits you best. then i thought i remove the instruments window to clean it and snapped the bloody needle of the Temp gauge, ARGHHhhhhhhh!!!!
And, bloody And, then while trying do repairs i started the engine without the SRS connector connected i now have a airbag warning as well.
And how complicated is this PCB??? bloody hell!
So its little wonder that a new instrument cluster was quoted at £567+vat and temp gauges not available separately! thankfully i have sourced one, thankfully, lol and when i take it to indie with test book to clear the SRS warning il have the rear windows set to one touch up as well, make the most of my £40.....at least the beep is quieter now, lol
