speedo shift light not working

[jaysjetski]

well it just stop working today, i have just removed the speedo unit.

what a job!!!!!!!!

anyway i didnt realise that its was a sealed unit and doesnt have bulbs, it has led things. can these be replaced on there own with a soldering iron?

if so what led do i need?

thanks

 

[jaysjetski]

anyone???

 

[Aluco]

They are SMD's and there is a guide in the guides section for changing them, but yes you just solder them but you need a small iron.

I don't think it's a sealed unit just cracks open and clips back together doesn't it ?

When changing SMD's make sure you get them the right was round (polarity) or they wont work.

If you mean the green light, it's not a shift light !!

 

[col182]

^^ oh shut up!!:sleepy:

 

[DannoTheGreat]

why bother! theres a rev gauge to keep an eye on

 

[cat171]

^^ oh shut up!!:sleepy:

Well it's not one. It's on over-rev light. Peak torque went a long time before the light comes on !

and as for telling me shut up, pmsl.

 

[Gally]

Lols. That's a great idea.

As said it's not a shift light but i'm sure your engine is loving it.

Seriously mate, your like a broken down record at times, apart from having fvck all to do with helping the op, the whole "Not a shift light" has been done to death.

Optimum, the best or most favorable point.

Renault call it a optimum gear change light and you set a shift light to light up at a optimum point. Its exactly the same idea just worded different.

it's a shift light !!

 

[TimR26]

It comes on 300rpm before the limiter not at peak power. Optimum gear change light is just Renault marketing.

 

[jaysjetski]

ok so anyway, thanks, i need an smd then, something i could get from maplins??? or ebay etc???

and i want to bother because i want my car to be perfect. with everything working as it should.

thanks

 

[jaysjetski]

It comes on 300rpm before the limiter not at peak power. Optimum gear change light is just Renault marketing.

so what is classed as peak power and higest gear change rpm????

If you're going to be condescending, at least be correct at the same time.

It's not a shift light. I'm not sure you'll understand that but it's true.

It's a 'Ooops, you've gone too far. You're an idiot and should have changed gear' light.

no ways dus the clio av a shift lite!

best off reading that thread mate. big debate about the light significance. Riviting read.

As for the light on the dash, if you become a member you can get access to the guide section on here and there is one about changing the led's. Maplin would be a good choice though I would say.

yeah i want to but skint as its christmas,

thanks i have had the speedo in bits yesterday. saw the little things, needed to know what they are.

thanks

 

[Jonny1*2]

it's only a tenner. dig deap

 

[jaysjetski]

it's only a tenner. dig deap

yeah but when you own a house, 2 cars, a speedboat, a jetski, a horse and i have 2 kids and a dog, digging deep is every month.

perhaps i have to many toys!!!!!!

 

[Jonny1*2]

just a weee bit

full member!!!! i found a weee bit..... kids wont get presents this year......LOL

:rasp:

 

[Jonny1*2]

have you looked at the guide now?

 

[jaysjetski]

have you looked at the guide now?

yeah,thanks

 

[TimR26]

so what is classed as peak power and higest gear change rpm????

Peak power is about 6500.

 

[jaysjetski]

Peak power is about 6500.

ok cool. so its not far of a shift light then, as if it comes on your just a tad late in changing gear.

thanks, just got to mend it now. and think i will remove the orange lights at the same time. not sure what colour yet, white/blue/purple/red, or mixtures or blue and white or red and purple.

plus of course one green smd.(for surposed shift light bulb)

 

[ben_r1]

Stated as the 'shift light' on the 197/200 lol

 

[Dink]

i doubt it's the led tbh they have a mtbf of about 100,000 hours

more likely not getting it's signal from the ecu

 

[Da]

Yeah I'd be very surprised if the SMD had failed.

Far more likely to be a signal failure.

 

[jaysjetski]

Yeah I'd be very surprised if the SMD had failed.

Far more likely to be a signal failure.

ok. anyway of checking this?

thanks

 

[theduck]

Stated as the 'shift light' on the 197/200 lol

Thats because on a 197/200 it IS a shift light! Making peak power 250rpm before the limiter FTW

 

[jaysjetski]

Yeah I'd be very surprised if the SMD had failed.

Far more likely to be a signal failure.

do you think this could be linked to my total fuel remaining not giving a reading?

 

[Da]

It could be yeah, are there any other electrical problems with the car?

I'm not sure where the ECU picks the signal up from on the car, hopefully someone else will be able to help you there.

 

[TimR26]

ok. anyway of checking this?

thanks

Not sure if it works on a Ph1 but on the Ph2 if you hold the trip computer button on the stalk and turn key to ignition all the dash lights come on.

 

[theduck]

does work on ph1

 

[Da]

Yep, all MK2's have it.

 

[jaysjetski]

yeah the stalk and ignition makes the speedo do all sorts lights on and the dials calibrate etc. but no shift light.

can anyone confirm on a ph1 that the shift light comes on when doing this?

thanks
