nigelxbl Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 hi folks, I wonder if anyone can explain why linking pins 9 and 13 on plug C230 at the back of the LED pack stops the ABS light working (for a Defender without ABS!). thanks in anticipation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 quite simply if you leave them unconnected the ABS amber light will stay on all the time ignition is on/engine running. Quote This is a workaround for non-ABS vehicles and stops the light being on all the time. from here http://www.retroanaconda.com/landrover/2009/10/installing-defender-td5-gauges-into-a-200tdi300tdi/ I use the ABS light on my Td5 dash to tell me when hand brake is on , ABS = 'and brake stupid' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 For a bulb not to illuminate, you either need no volts at all across the two terminals or the same voltage across so that no current flows through it. LEDs are slightly more complex but that's roughly correct for them too. I don't know the circuit but I suspect that it already has 12 volts applied to one side and the linking is adding 12 volts to the terminal on the other side.
