SRS light is for the airbags. Only the dealer can reset that light. Yes - if you want to get ripped off! More often then not, a poor or intermittent connection causes it - and just like all the other ECUs in the car, you can read the fault code(s) by plugging the test lead into socket B5 and pressi...

Much later now (I've been away for a long time) - and no further problems having replaced the silly thing with one from eBay in 2008 after a further non-starting bout around Christmas 2007. The only difference I could find between the new CPS and the old (when repeating the bench test with the CPS o...

Hi again, 120 miles later and still no fault codes logged. One trip was another short one - 1/2 mile to take an old bed to the tip, 3/4 mile into town to get the replacement and 1/2 mile back home. It started fine every time. So the fault might have been in the wiring or a connector, but if it was, ...

Hi y'all, Many thanks for your replies, Lee and Stone. Now I've finished getting my motorbike through its annual test ('63 Royal Enfield Continental, no engine management system :), and it passed OK) I can concentrate on the car.

A much more elegant solution if your car is fitted with such a thing! Mine isn't.

Pull your lights switch out and disconnect the plug. Find Green/Red wire which will be #5 on the plug and cut it. Doesn't work on a UK market 1994 850SE. According to the Haynes manual, there is a 'Dim/Dip regulator' on mine that is specifically part of the DRL function. Since it would probably be ...

Do other lights like ones by the ashtray, electric window switches, seat heater switches etc. flicker? These, and the dash panel lamps, are controlled by the 'rheostat', a slider situated above the rear foglight switch. The slider could be dirty - move it left and right several times and note what h...
