I assume you don't have a multimeter ?

can you zoom in enough to read what it says on that resistor ? - is there any text on your existing one ?

summat like R20 - 20 ohms etc


lol even though my dad + brother are sparkies i dont own a multimeter -i do the hair standing on end, fingers tingling, smell of burning bacon test to find a live wire ;p

i didnt see anything printed on it when i had it out?

get them to get a megger on it - which will accurately measure the resistance - but they are hardy things and I'd be surprised if it's gone

or wire a 12v bulb through it and see if it glows you have continuity

But be careful, a megger test is the common name for a 500volt insulation test, not quite the low range resistance measurement you're after here.

shoving 250/500 volts across that will do no harm - getting a accurate resistance value is the aim
 
FOUND THE FECKKER!!

that plugs in there pretty tight with no slack in the loom, burned bit was on the reverse side of the plug!

pulled it off, pushed it back on a few mm so the pins just made contact + LIGHTS!! -no alarm too!!

will look for a replacement on monday!!

cheers for the help guys

:violent:
 
Glad your sorted. I'm having an alarm problem where the alarm doesn't work but the imobiliser does plus the trailer indicator light was flashing when indicating. I changed the relay from a 5 pole to a 4 and disconnected the sounder. Where is that plug and I'll check mine.
 
lol well i know whats causing the problem whith my alarm but not sorted until i find a working replacement -think theres too much current flowing as its pretty burnt in there but the metal pins arent melted, just the plastic??!!

the plug is just above the fuseboard (the 1 behind the gearstick)

it took me ages to find it as its just poking out of the dash -v.little slack in the loom.

:tea:

And here ends todays lesson on the law of sod;):D:D:D

I rekon I might have to check my connectors next time I have 5 mins spare.

yeah my novice mistake shame in not seeing it sooner was greatly overpowered by my elation that i could once again ride the beast any time of day + night!

oh and my neighbours were happy with my alarm not going banzai too.........
