L.E.D Dash light conversion - Saxperience

Phsyco_Paff · 3rd July 2009, 16:11

hi all has any one got a picture of the circuit board that sits behind your dials as i did the led conversion and the rev counter dosen't light up i think i put an led wrong way round lol thanx

PLEASE CALL ME A NOOB WHEN POSTING!!

They work in groups of 3 so if one if either broken or in the wrong way then the rest wont.

Anyway, the vertical LEDs all have the negative pins at the bottom, and the horizontal one negative pin points to the left. (just on the rev counter side)

if you PM me your email, iv got a diagram with them on, which I can email to you.

Cheers mate its all sorted turned out to be top one faceing right instead of left looks the tits

p.s i used the thank you button

MadManc75 · 3rd July 2009, 17:49

gonna be doin that LED conversion soon, is a bitch to work with the surface mount LEDs??

MadManc75 · 3rd July 2009, 17:50

is it*

Phsyco_Paff · 3rd July 2009, 17:57

can be bit fiddley and dont make same mistake i did and desolder all of them first then try to remeber witch way they went round lol also mark your needles as there a bitch to reline without

MadManc75 · 3rd July 2009, 22:49

haha i can imagine that wud make it more tricky! cheers for the advice

i know i allready put in other led's but i think think the leds of the fuel and the temp dont work any more. Is there any way to test these two leds?

SneakyVTR · 6th August 2009, 18:19

Here you go mate. The picture explains it all Red being Positive and Blue being Negative! I found it quite tricky at first even with a needle tipped soldering iron but just make sure you give it nice clean connections and it can't go wrong! Sorry if it's abit late

I use a little 9v battery to test leds, fix a couple of bits of wire to the battery then touch the ends to the led.

Thanks for the suggestions but i was talking about these two LED's:

The LED's are solderd on the right way and are also in good condition(i've checked it with with a multimeter) So how do i check it? maybe there is something wrong with the circuit? Anyone got a pcb or a schematic?

Isnt it so when you turn the ignition by two clicks so all the lights on the dash come on also the low fuel LED and the high temp LED comes on?

kistigun · 8th August 2009, 19:54

anyone???

iDaNz_VTR · 10th August 2009, 08:35

it will look mint m8 when done

kistigun · 13th August 2009, 08:23

it's allready done and yes it looks mint. But i think two LED's arre not working. The Temp warning LED and the low fuel LED, the LEDS are placed the right way and are both working. Any way to test them on the board?

Is it so when you put your car in ignition the empty fuel LED comes on for a few seconds?

kistigun · 13th August 2009, 20:16

Nobody can confirm this???

test buy pulling the circit board back out and put a heavy duty battery iver end of the led if its working should light up

kistigun · 14th August 2009, 07:28

I've tried testing them on the board but they don't seem to work. But when i solder them of and i test them they work fine. Maby i've blowen a resitor or a condensator on the board? Anyone got a schematic of this board?
