high can anyone help on this k17 relay cheers john,..
-
If you remove F15....do they go off....?
-
i havent played around with any relays as of yet im just going on what the aa said as he didnot know where it was cheers john
-
I would also pop the instrument cluster out and give the earth connection which is on the steering column mount a good close inspection......and ensure its tight.....
By the way, as usual, the AA man is VERY wrong....K17 is only associated with the 2.5TD.....so as you dont have a 2.5TD I doubt that will be the trouble!

Can't see a K17 on my wiring diagrams (which are 2002), so cannot help further at the moment....

ok ill have to play about on the weekend cheers john

The daft bugger of an AA man has simply looked throguh a list, seen a relay called 'polarity protection relay' and assumed its that wihou even reading the wiring diags properly....
So, in summary, K17 only exists on th 2.5TD engine in the ECU box under the bonnet....
My money is on a bad instrument cluster earth contact.....
