Post by: GREGBLACK on March 14, 2010, 06:06:22 PM: Hi they might be, I can't find anything in range for them to plug into, they were taped up and I think I will just re tape them and pretend that they are not there unless anyone can identify them.

All the lights work, the cruise control works, heater blower works on speed 4 only, oil gauge not working, intermittent check gauges fault, turbo not not kicking in and it is showing error code 12 on the mil code, but I don,t think it is anything to do with them and I am gradually working through these faults.
thanks Greg

Do you have a light mounted on the underside of the bonnet?

Some people removed the engine bay light since it has been known to stay on and drain the battery.

Post by: GREGBLACK on March 27, 2010, 11:19:45 AM: hi thanks Brian I have had a look there is no where to plug them into, but few weeks a go I Had some water in the diesel and the light did come on(yes their was water in the filter less than half a tea spoon) maybe it has been changed. Both of these wires are long enough to reach the top of the gearbox I had assumed maybe these were for an automatic box but mine is manual.
thanks Greg

Post by: The Smiths on March 27, 2010, 11:53:25 AM: If the plug is for water sensor it will come on when you go through a lot of water and the end gets wet - it then goes off when it dries out :icon_rolleyes:
