Pig Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hi all, I had issues with my car following a diff change. They turned out to be a fuel pump ECU failure. I have now had my fuel pump ECU bypassed and linked directly to the ignition. Now my next problem is that my Dash 2 only has a red light on the battery but nothing on the screen. (indicator lights working). Any idea's? I have checked all the fuses and they are fine.s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 When you say fuel pump ECU bypassed how do you mean. Its the pump just on when the ignition is on?? Mega dangerous, for example if the car is rolled the fuel pump will just continue to run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yes. Exactly as you say, I may consider replacing the ECU... Not sure yet. To be honest, my pump is so noisy and I have no stereo in the car so there is no danger of me leaving the ignition on without knowing it. Edit, just re-read your post what a moron I am. Very good point, will source a fuel pump ECU straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Now my next problem is that my Dash 2 only has a red light on the battery but nothing on the screen. (indicator lights working). Any idea's? Mine is exactly the same - it is as designed. You can set a trigger up so that if the battery voltage falls below a certain value the LED's will flash. imi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I have is the battery light on (and indicators) nothing else is working. Blank screen and no gear change lights. Miss it as I dont even know how much fuel I have anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 IIRC there is a inline fuse on the power feed to the Dash2, it may be worth checking that is ok. The other lights may still work as they are fed on a individual basis. (Indicators, lights etc) so worth a quick check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Just incase someone has the same problems in future. This turned out to be a power overload caused by the garage replacing the fuse that kept popping with a larger voltage one.... I sent it off for repair by race technologies at a cost of about £150 Thanks Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Which fuse did the garage replace with a larger one? The Dash2 one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 The one in the main car fuse board relating to dash and other bits. The disappointing thing for me was that the dash 2's own fuse was still in tact. IMO this should have blown protecting the dash. They are fragile things!! I now need to work out how to program the dam thing as last time Ryan did it for me. Step 1 complete - order a seriel to USB connector. The reason for that the fuse kept blowing was that the fuel pump ECU had failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
