:blush: all this trouble to earth the wrong side of the wire :tsktsk: :tsktsk:
Consequences up to now include parking brake warning whilst driving, a warning on the "info" menu that a program is not functioning and half of the menu is gone, and there was no sound from the parking sensors in reverse
Hope all this is sorted out when I earth the right side.
Now I have the problem that the wire on the J50 is too short. I have 2 options:
1. I will try and strip the wire coming out of the harness and connect it with the rest making it longer.
2. Is there a way of "un-clipping" the short red wire from the harness and insert a new one? Can a car electrician do this in the worst case scenario where I cannot unclip it myself or manage to strip the wire (option 1)?
Thanks for the help beneee. It's a relief knowing a "veteran" can help out ;)
-----------------------UPDATE-----------------------
The wire was indeed too short. I managed to strip as much as I could see and I took a connector like piece of metal out of another harness and pushed it in. When I saw that the red wire was inside the connector I soldered it. It was a LONG shot but it worked Never believed it would. Now I can watch the DVD menu even with the parking brake off.
PROBLEM - As I said above some of the "info" menu items are gone I can see the "telephone", "screen setting", "display" and when I switch on the engine the "park assist" appears (and the rear parking sensors do work now). I'm missing "maintenace", "Calendar" etc.
Also instead of getting the "insert dvd" I get a "a program cannot be read. Contact your sealer".
Any clues guys?? Do I need to reset something?
Any help is appreciated.
