Homer Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I've just changed from j-spec rear lights to facelift rear lights, only now the brake failure warning light on the dash panel lights up as soon as I touch the brakes. Presumably this is caused by it expecting to see 2 sets of brake lights per cluster instead of just one on the facelift lights. Any idea how to rewire to stop this fault light appearing? Thanks as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckler Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I just cut the wires going in to the "sensing" circuit (by the fuel pump ECU) - or you could just take the bulb out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Not that I'm aware of. I wouldn't want it to be disabled though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Why not wire them all up as brake lights and then do the TRL fog light conversion to use the inner set of lights as the fog lights? It's what my facelift rear lights are setup as. Ben.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 25, 2004 Author Share Posted August 25, 2004 Thanks for the replies I didn't think to wire them all up as brake lights so will give that a shot! I like the sound of the fog light mod so will give that a try too! I haven;t got any fog lights now and the MOT is due in a couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
