abs light repair?/wanted

[Kempy 0]

Evening

 

My abs light doesnt work, I tested the abs with another light from another car and it lit up and went out as it should.

 

Looks like the bulb is gone and a resistor. The whole thing itself are going for £30 on ebay and im not paying that. Anyone bothered to fix one before? or want to sell one a bit cheaper?

 

Thanks

Find out the value (resistance) of the resistor, and buy one/strip and an orange LED from Maplins, get your soldering iron out, and save yourself £29. So long as the tracks on the PCB are OK, it'll be a doddle. Even if the tracks are a bit knackered, they can easily be repaired. :smug:

Correct, it's an orange filter! :camp:

I might go for a blue LED and have Green? ABS light lol

You can get take the filter out, its just a thin plastic insert. When I did my ABS light "fix" I only had red leds and they are very bright. I've just stuck some tint film over the top of the filter, then put it back in to tone it down a bit.

I have a red light in my Valver and blue in my VR! I might have a spare ABS light PCB somewhere if its needed, I'll have a look later when I get home
