I don't think that works with a bulb... Its more like a lcd or some display of the sort.
I suggest check ur fuses then wiring!

[Virus]

ok so check the fuse box in the engine compartment then ? Sounds wise enuff thanks oh wise one

Not the one in the engine, you got a fuse box behind ur coin pocket right of the steering wheel

Understood didnt know that

[idlemind]

me neither...was a nice surprise, you should have some extra fuses and a fuse puller mounted on the pocket itself

[Virus]

LoL yea i saw all of that but which fuse is the one that controls that function cause i looking for it and i cant seem to find the exact on any view or location ?

[idlemind]

dude all i seeing is top row second from left is the instrument panel fuse
you ever own a japanese car before?
with no english labels?
my guess will be to check all

[venum]

so i switch on my park lights etc everything working nice but i find something wrong i ain't seeing the TRIP A neither the total mileage everything else lighting help!!!!!!!!! am sure the bulb blow but don't want to dig up and i know sometime back some1 was changing there bulbs advice me oh master where venum tooo

I here

if the Trip backlight is not working, but you can see teh digits, then you have a simple problem

you need to pull off the IP and change the bulb

buy the cheap blue bulb from gopaul's

pull off the IP, remove the old one (with the blue rubber cap) and replace with teh one from Gopaul's

teh blue bulb lights white

I have done this already

just take your time

call me if needed

[Virus]

Understood will most likely have to call u to do this cus never really tock off the IP yet so when u have time venum

Infact walk me tru it
(1) unscrew the 2 screws above the IP face glass then wha ?

[idlemind]

Virus, Venum pulled down the IP with pics a few pages back in this thread

[Virus]

ok i checked the fuses and they all good so is the light going to read tru the pages now

[idlemind]

*UPDATE*

nah ah lie he took the pics after he took out the IP, back then it was a trade secret...check page 21

[venum]

1. take out the 2 screws on the black bezel

2. remove 3 screws that hold teh IP

3. remove the IP - gently

4. disconnect the 2 cable dongles

5. check post on pg 21 and remove bulb #5

6. replace

7. test

[Virus]

[JUS4SHO]

i decide to keep mine ^^^

[idlemind]

guys, i have a problem dont know if its the coil packs but, in the mornings the car idles like a subaru(like a boxer engine)..dudduddudduddud

during this time the check engine light is on
when i switch off and start again its back to normal
almost every morning it happens.

is there anyway i can read the error?
or i have to get a cable and software?

[JUS4SHO]

^^^ u have d GDI ?

as for the coil pack check the manual listed to check the resistance before going to buy one ...

[idlemind]

yeah 4g93 gdi, but i want to ensure that its the coil packs first and i want to read the error, with my other car i couldve read the ecu error code and find the error easily

possible with this?

[JUS4SHO]

^^^ yes but from my experience the coil packs carry the same P/N that way you can check them using the test in the manual above

[idlemind]

in that maze of a manual you posted???



:lol: okay il go check

[fras]

Anything on d rotors idlemind?

[Virus]

will update on this

and something interesting

ran my CS3 till the gas light came on today (again ! this must be the 4th time - need to that light to make sure it works )

got some interesting mileage - 485km then the light came on

just to show:



put another 12km, making it 497km before I filled up - $120.00

I love this engine

stock airbox is back in though

[idlemind]

i cant pass 300km on $120 full up (with the light on)
but my daily runs are a killer

tested it with north south runs and got better mileage een with the a/c on
nevertheless i wont get 500km

very impressive guy
