Thanks Roa,
That was a great help, I'm amazed how much you guys seems to know about these cars!
Thanks everyone for all helpful information, and also the warning about not putting in a used one, a question regarding that, what is PLID?
I think I'll try to repair myself now (with Roa's great info) and if that doesnt work I'll look into BBA Reman

Hi,
Well now I've checked the power, and I have 5 volts (6,19 actually) on pin 12 and 12 volts (13,12) on pin 19. I also (of course) have 12 volts on pins 2 on the blue connector, so I've no iidea where to continue to search for this problem... any idea?
I had thought this where to be easy solved when I bought this car, thought I made a good deal, but now I see why they sold it so cheap...
Any help is aprriciated.

Hi,
I do have another question regarding this problem, I mentioned that the people I bought the car from stated that the problem seemed to evolve around the stearing wheel. Well I think I've checked everything there, but I found one thing that I have a qustion about. Around the key cylinder there is a magnietc ring and outside of that there is a spool (copper wire) that leads to a very small curcit board just behind the key on the stearing wheel pole. That magnetic ring is broken in three pieces, they are all in place, but broken, can that cause this problem. Otherwice I'll give up now and send this in to BBA Reman, I've tried to get a hold of the regulator but it's nowhere to be found. Siemens where the manufacturers, they sold it to Infineon and now it's out of produktion since it consisted of led. According to EU rules, only military and hospital equipment are allowed to have led in the circuits. So I can't find anywhere to by it...
But, before I send this in to BBA I'm curious about if the magnetic ring, or the little curcuit board I mentioned can have anything to do with my problem?
b.t.w, a repair wasn't to expencive, £150 as the most, and that is regardless if it's even the main processor. The only problem is that they don't re-programme the PLID.

Hi all,
I have just two small questions now, before sending the unit in for repair; first of all, they wanted me to send in not only the curcuit board but also the BCU (Body Control Unit) so where is that one located???
Question tw, what does that do and can that be the reason for my problems with the instrument?
Probably simple questions, but I'm a bit novice with this car and have not found any repair handbooks to this car, seems like Heynes have not made any repair book for this model...
Thanks again everyone, you've been most helpful, it's very appriciated!

Hi Everyone! Well I can inform you all that I went with the tip about BBA-Reman and they did a great job!!! It was only 150£ + shipping cost, a total of 180£ that is a "set" price, no matter what the problem is it's the same price. So I can defenetly recommend them to anyone having a electronic/electrical problem. Also, they where fast, took only 11 days from that I sent them the unit until I had i installed again One question I have now is only about a control lamp. It's a red lamp that flicks every second when the car is stopped and turned off, also, the same thing even when the key is removed. Strange though is that it turns off when I start the car? anyone have any idea??? I have to go to the garage and replace the engine belt, it's run for 13 000 km (59000 miles) can it be that?
