Re: Rear Fog not working V6

So by unscientific means the problem is solved....

I put all the wiring back to original state

On the back of the switch is a thick red lead that ran to the back of the bongo and light unit. I moved this to the contact prong next to it which had nothing on and hey presto the fog light works ...

Re: Rear Fog not working V6

Yeah I've tried the reverse bulb and the fog bulb, I ran the bulb connector from the positive to negative on the battery and it lights up fine

I ran the new power wire through the bulb connector to negative battery and that does not light it or running it to earth

Re: Rear Fog not working V6

Yeah I've tried all the different combos! The buttons are to the right of the steering wheel, one is an one/off switch with a light on the switch and the other is a classic fog light button with a symbol on it.

I think there is an electrical fault with the main beam too, as that failed the mot too ...

Rear Fog not working V6

Hello,

So Guffrey failed his MOT today due to the rear fog not working (amongst other things)

Annoyingly the rear fog has never worked since i've owned it (3 years) and hasn't failed due to this before.

So, it's located in the reverse light housing and the red bulb is fine. (not one of those ...

Re: Intermittent horn (V6)

So all seems fine where the horn is (behind drivers head light)

I tried pressing the horn in different places on the steering wheel and after a while it started working normally. So I'm wondering if there's some sort of dodgy connection behind the steering wheel cover.

Can I just take this off ...

Intermittent horn (V6)

Hello I've got an issue with the horn and the mot is due Soon

So when the ignition is on and I press the horn it beeps a little bit, like short beeps and then stops altogether. But when the keys are out it's beeps fine!

Any idea what might be causing this?

Re: V6 98 - Second hand or aftermarket Radiator

So i've bought a new one from ebay for £56 and also a thermostat whilst i'm at it

The bit i'm worried about is getting the coolant in and making sure theres no air pockets, i've watched the video on youtube, but it seems like it'll be tricky doing it on my own

I'm going to get an lca at a later ...

Re: V6 Cambelt any other business?

Ok thankyou for your suggestions

So rather than just getting them to fit a water pump check it out first, that makes sense
