R500JPH Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Hi I am having an issue with the left hand indicator LED in my Tachometer. If I wiggle the connector and or cables at the back I can get it to occasionally work so it looks like a dodgy wire or connection onto the female plug to me. Its the newer version I believe with the 20 pin connector. Would anyone happen to have the pinouts for this connector please? Many thanks Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the pinouts and instructions for setting are on the website. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd like a copy please send me a Private Message with your email address. That wiggle test does sound as if you've found the problem. But do the hazard warning lights work normally? And have you changed the indicators to LEDs? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R500JPH Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Hi Jonathan I do have the Caterham wiring diagram but struggling to work out which one controls the left indicator led from that. The hazards and indicators both work fine - its just the left warning led in the tacho that isn’t working. The car has the standard indicator bulbs and relay. I have just emailed Caerbont as suggested earlier in this thread and hopefully they can supply the pinouts as I couldn’t find this info on their website. Many thanks, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Kingsley Young Posted May 22 Area Representative Share Posted May 22 Hi Jonathan I had a similar problem when i purchased my car back in 2016, it is a 2009 car but had only covered 900 mls. The same indicator bulb as yours was not working only intermittently, after lots of head scratching someone on the forum said that there had been a problem at manufacture with this unit. Apparently there had been a call back at the time but I’m assuming many could have slipped the net. I contacted Caerbont and asked them to have a look at it which they did, it was returned to me fully working and with no charge ! I have to say it was away for about 6 weeks if I remember correctly. I think I would be contacting Caerbont . Good Luck Kingsley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks A table of the British "standard" wiring colours can help when you're trying to identify what's what, especially with the new style of factory diagram. I like the AES version.
