Hello all

My 2000 XDi has had the amber HDC light come on and also the reversing lights are constantly on (worries cars behind at traffic lights - oh S4*! what is he about to do!!!!:eek:).

The reversing lights are also causing the rear wiper to run constantly (while the front wipers are on). The handbook says they are meant to do this when in reverse.

I have read on the forum about a connector or switch somewhere near the gearlever? Where is it and is it fixable/expensive?

Thanks

Ralph

I have just taken off the rubber gaitor and there is a black wire and a blue wire that are floating about, not fixed to anything!!

Guess I need to find where they should be soldered too!

fink its the reversin switch. . .if i was in ma rocket i could tell ya as its all on pooter. . .but i'm int the tratter pub. . . .:)
 
Wunt yer be able to tell if thats the bother by shortin the wires out ?:eek:
Or seperatin em if they were shortin on summat under the gaytor

But rough i know:eek:
 
dont just short em - stick a light bulb in between wires - saves ya shortin out finks - a lite bulb on a cupple of wires is a very useful tool to have:D
