hackin_n_bashin Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Guys, I've found a resistor in the space below my stereo. Looks like 2 wires, coming from the back of the dash/top of trans tunnel, that have been twisted together with a resistor, the other side of the resistor has the been twisted around another wire, which goes to ground. I'll try and get some pics, but not liking my chances! The resistor has broken, don't know how long for, but my cars been showing a code 42 failure since I've had it. Resistor bands are yellow, purple, brown and gold. Anyone shed any info on this? Could this be the c42 problem? H'n'S Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 It sounds like a real bodge: electrical wires just twisted together, not good. Unlikely to be the cause of the code 42, but anything's possible. Without knowing where the wires go I can't really advise any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 It was a 470 ohm 5% tolerance resistor. The info that's really needed to get a better idea of what it could of done would be the colour of the wires it was connected to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 It adds 20BHP. Or so eBay says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 It adds 20BHP. Or so eBay says. In that case I can supply packets of 5 x 470 ohm resistors (100bhp kit) for £20 delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackin_n_bashin Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 ACE!! they're not toyota wires, can't see where they head off to, but they feel like they head down into the trans tunnel. My only thoughts were to do with a cheapo SLD and thats why I'm getting a code 42 fault. guess I'll stick another one in (properly boxed) and see what happens. If I'm not here next week, the flux capacitor's back on line and i'm somewhere in the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
