ABS light missing

big frankie · 1st May 2016, 12:53

Just bought a 2l cdt se classic.

After having a good look over it. I noticed that the ABS warning light doesn't come on.

I stripped the speedo unit looking for the bulb. Guess what?

It's been taken out. Unfortunately. The bulb is part of the circuit board. I've been looking for a replacement on Ebay. Trouble is, what will fit my car?

Any suggestions?

If you can post the IPK (Speedo) down to me I can solder another led in for the cost of the return post...

That is jolly decent of you. I certainly will.
I will off course pay you for your time etc. Just let me know the cost.

Thank you so much.

Where did you buy it from?, a non functioning ABS system will fail MOT, so why was the 'bulb' taken out?

I suspect that will be revealed once Klarzy has put the led back in!

If you can't eliminate the fault eliminate the warning!

unfortunately this is becoming a very common way of dealing with problem warning lights

Hopefully with new software to pinpoint ABS faults this will become less common.

Once I have the Speedo back. I'll contact someone with a T4 to help pinpoint the real problem.

I know there must be an ABS fault. Otherwise someone wouldn't have removed the LED.
