I think I've bought a F****** lemon, some of my dash board lights weren't lighting up so took the dash out only to find that the EML, ABS & TC lights had no bulbs so put new bulbs in and guess what, THEY DONT GO OUT tried the paper clip test but the EML doesn't flash just stays solid, any clues before I torch it

Paperclip should work.

Might be worth trying the pedal trick just in case it is a mini facelift with a later ECU

Paperclip test on that, not pedal trick.

ABS/TC lights point towards ABS ECU - they come up on here for around £40, but a bitch to fit.

I'll have the ABS ECU off of my 2.5 CDX.

Purely from memory - 17 is passenger side knock sensor, 135 is low batt, 31 is ok, 12 is nothing.

Hmmm, might be out of luck. What is the last letter of the VIN - if its V, cry, if its W, happy days
