Regards Check the soleniod connections/circuit yellow is power in & black is earth it doesn't matter which terminals they're connected too. if you need a replacement soleniod they are £69.65 plus vat & carriage from GKN on 0121 313 1606, make sure you have the units serial number to hand.

TJ101 Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 Morning Ralph,, NO not as yet,, my nephew was in a RTA and passed away on sat, only 17 !! so other pressing matters,, will try and get on a lift today, and have a look!!

John_T Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Tim, From what I remember of reading up on all this when I fitted mine, this does nor sound like a solenoid problem. I think that once the switch has been turned on at over 30 mph the control box sends current to the solenoid and then thinks its job is done so doesn't flash any lights. However, I don't claim to be right! My money would be on a dodgy speed sensor/connector. Take out the speed sensor, clean it up and re-fit it. I have a spare brand new sensor should you want to try it.... you so you are welcome to come round and give it a try. If not the speed sensor it is possible that the gearstick switch has a loose connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John,, same as i am thinking,, the speed inhibitor, is not leting the solenoid kick in, the led should only flash to indicate too low a speed to engage, ie over 30 before looking,, where about is the spped sensor ??,, and will give you a bell re the spare sensor offer, Thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_T Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Tim, I don't know where you will be phoning but if you get no joy, I have found in the past that phoning Steve Goodsall at GKN and having a moan usually gets results. Failing that Devon 4x4 keep them. For most bits I wouldn't bother about getting a replacement but it seems speed sensors are a bit suspect so I need to carry one when I am off on my European jaunts. Travelling down the autobahns stuck in fith with no overdrive is not good for the hearing! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Tim, when you phone 0121 1606 it's the sales desk ask for Sue Rowland or 0121 313 1661 and ask for Steve, make sure you have the units serial number to hand, Speed Sensor part number is 119509/00/00, price is £70.50 including vat, changed my sensor as I thought it was faulty and not giving the control box the correct signal, in the end the solly was sticking a new one cured the fault and restored full operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
