Project Restoration Zed- almost done.

[paddy wright]

So having some time today to play with the project it seems the lights aren’t working correctly. The lights are auto headlights. The lights come on as soon as the car starts but you can’t turn them off or indicate or use main beam. Is this the LCM? Carpets under both seats are a bit damp too- could this be linked? No fuses are blown.

I’d say lcm

I’ve got a load of spares if you need to borrow one to test it? Which lcm is it? Auto/xenon etc?

Auto non xenon. That would be amazing! Is it right that swapping the LCM will throw a tamper spot?

Yes but won’t hurt for a diagnostic swap

It will but will go when you put your lcm back

Pm me your address I’ll pop one in the post

Loaned LCM fitted- lights all fixed and working perfectly

 

[pvr]

Excellent result. That loan library came in very handy

So are you keeping that in and getting it coded to prevent the tamper dot?
Be aware that if you do a lot of miles before you get it coded then somewhere deep in the memory banks it will always show that there is a discrepancy. ie. It will show that it thinks it had the wrong LCM in for all those miles.

I need to ask Bigwinn what he would like to do- ideally yes I’ll buy this and then see if someone can code it.
I’m into taking the seat out now to try and see if there’s a reason the carpets wet underneath- I think it’s been the door membrane that’s leaked and been replaced and just left over moisture in the foam in the floor. Can’t figure out how to take the seatbelt out of the guide though :headbang:

What seats?

 

[paddy wright]

Standard seats

Standard seats

Pull up the headrest and there is a T20 screw in the top edge of the guide.

Amazing thank you- any advice on the plug connection under the seat please?

Obviously battery off first.
Unbolt the seat and tip it back for access.
The yellow plug has a black slider on it. You may need a screwdriver under the end of it to start it moving, then simply pull it straight out from the side of the plug. It doesn't detach completely, but as it moves over it slides the plug out of the socket.

Did one this morning. Sure it was 20 but I don’t look really, just judge it by eye

Thanks both- figured it out in the end- just had to push a lot harder on the black clip than felt right!
Airbag light is back On- code says both sat modules and srs have wrong chassis number. Hoping it’s due to a low battery rather than an actual issue?!

Was the airbag light on before? Or has someone been in changing modules in the past?

The light was on with the same error but did clear and stay off until today. Can’t see someone having changed several modules?

Given that the left and right feed back to the centre one, is it worth checking actual vin held in each module using INPA for example?

 

[bigwinn]

Battery could cause issues so rule that out and go from there

Use inpa to read the vin stored in each module to check?
