That's useful - I was expecting it to be smaller than that. At least slimmer! On 2022-09-23 14:33, Jim Hearne wrote: It's bigger than you might think, maybe 50 x 40 x 30 with the red button on the top. Jim From: jul...@cityaudioservices.com Sent: Friday, September 23, 2022 2:30 PM To: qu

All I'm assuming from what I can see on the web it's likely to be a small flattish black box. Fingers crossed I can find it. Thanks as ever for the help On 2022-09-23 14:09, susanandmartin wrote: As Steve said, near the door (A) pillar is a common place. In a Mondeo (company car) a work

That is the location on the donor car, the passenger footwell just next to the door pillar. Can’t see how or why a car would be grounded on the brake test though. More likely they bumped it into the rollers a bit hard and it tripped the cutout, especially if it was less firmly mounted than on th

Hi My H4 cut out unexpectedly at the MoT garage after being driven into the brake test equipment which involved the car being grounded! Looking at the circuit diagram there are several potential reasons why this happened, most of which I know how to diagnose and where to look. But one possi
