Can this be turned in to a pdf in the how to's section or download section? For future reference?

Great News I hope, as I am still unsure that this is the problem with my FBH but I am ready to give it a try.
I would like to be one of the first to give FrenchMike a little bit of business if he so desired, as I am as much use with a soildering iron as I am with knitting rubber hosepipes. Please PM me Mike with your costings and details. Could this be the start of something that even Webesco doesn't know about. I think we should keep quiet on this or Webesco could be buying him out! Regards

Mike,
Well done, its always very satisfying when you get to the point of that eureka moment isn't it. I have a little clarification for you though. I have a brand new unused 75 FBH with obligitory faulty circuit board. The SMD resistors marked at 4.71K ohms are clear to see as they are identified with numbers and both of them pass the resistance test, however the 47ohm SMD is not marked with numbers, is it ? All I can see is a Brown coloured SMD in which I get a reading of 12.8Kohms which I believe may be the faulty one that needs replacing, photo attached. This is the SMD to the right of the resistor with yellow purple and green bandings? Can you confirm? Regards. Last edited by Dragrad; 22nd January 2016 at 00:29.. |

Mike,
What an excellent how to, and this could save members £200-£300. This meringue substance. What would be the reason for webasto putting this on? Also, could the sm resistors be replaced with normal ones for those of us that have poor soldering skills? Matt |

The other resistor a replaced is the one marked 4992 (49900 ohms) I put a 47 K ohms: I don't think capacitors or others components are concerned. Mike |

Another one technology fault caused by long term corrosion ! Of course,one can replace the SMD resistors by normal ones but not necessarily more easy ! Mike |

I think the sealant substance is put on by Webasto to hold the upright capacitors firmly in place. The taller capacitors could possibly 'vibrate' with all the vibrations created by road surfaces/ engine resonance etc . Could be wrong though!
