Christoph 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Hi guys, I need a bit of advice. I had a new alarm fitted yesterday and it appears to have messed up the MFA. The oil temp shows as --- even after I've been driving for 30 minutes, and the outside air temperature doesn't appear at all, it goes straight from oil temp back to the clock. I thought that maybe they'd managed to change the mode, but looking at the info on different modes this morning, they all seem to have a full complement of readouts. The other info, clock / distance / speed / economy etc all work fine. Anyone had problems like this before? TIA Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted January 17, 2007 Could just be a dodgy connection/wiring which has been knocked when the alarm was fitted. Check the connection to the oil temp sensor, thats where mine went, and also for any snapped wiring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Hi Guys, quick update... I checked the connection next to the oil pressuer sender (breaking one of the coolant pipes in the process. Oh how I laughed :mad: ) and it seems to have sorted the oil temp problem. Now, I'm just left with no outside air temp. Can anyone tell me where the sensor is so I can check the electrics? Thanks Chris Oh, and I can thoroughly recommend Hamilton and Palmer alarms. Pretty crappy website though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Son of a Beesting 0 Posted January 31, 2007 The outside air temp is a blue sensor normally in the bottom half of the bumper drivers side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
