So what would need replaced to sort this ?
Surely not the whole gear selector module? Confused

Getting it replaced under warranty would be great if I still had some. Surely ,if itā€™s such a common problem, why hasnā€™t anybody got a fix for it?


LRA have, they now carry the spare transistors and capacitors with them and fit them at the side of the road when they fail. Laughing

There are so many clever people on this site, that have fixed , sorted, rebuilt, canā€™t believe this whole thing has to be replaced just to get a light working

Thread on AULRO says the engineer who designed the unit states the failure of the LED is related to an IC on the board that fails and thus, the fix is not simple at all. There are also threads that cover off the failure of the locking mechanism built into the unit that prevents you driving the vehicle as the park-lock won't disengage.

The 8 speed isn't so grand after all (says a jelous/not jealous 6 speeder).

That will definitely be used as there around Ā£280-300 new by the looks of it. Perhaps duckworths may be able to offer a deal?

You may be lucky, as you have been, buying secondhand. But I doubt anybody, you buy from on eBay would refund your money just because the light around it didnā€™t work, so you would be left with another perfectly functional gear selector, with no light

Unless it was described as faulty they would have no option but to refund and if they didnā€™t EBay would do it for you Shocked - providing you paid through PayPal. Buyers rule on EBay not sellers Iā€™m afraid.

Hi All,

I have been actively trying to fix this, I have found the burned out component but I'm still having trouble identifying what brand or type of chip it is, when I have a fix i'll post it up here.

Cheers
Marc
