Parallel didn't work when just doing the front. I've tried this. Should all indicators work independantly or would the fact i've not installed the back kit effect it?

What wattage did you use on yours oodathort?

The pic is what i'm afraid off!!

Hi yes you have to do both front and rear the wattage is not the issue its the resistance wattage is about the heat dissipation resistance is about fooling the lcm to think it has a incandesant lamp connected Porsche Cayenne

nowt to do with voltage, its amps that the resisters pretend to be ..the ecu sends a voltage to the bulb and if it doesn't get the correct resistance back it puts up an error, hence the need for resisters if you have leds .....now it could be that the RR setup is different and somehow picks up on the positive only feed so putting a resister in series 'might' give the ecu the reading it needs..
if you put leds in that have a constant feed [like fogs etc] and not a pulse feed [like indicators] then resisters defo go in parallel.. ... - .- -.

oodathort- you cant remember what colour wires the rear indicator live/ground were can you??

Might start by installing that kit first.

Thanks. I have decided to get someone with some elec knowledge to sort it out (as i prob should of done in first place) so will update with results once done. Thanks for input/ comments.

They need wiring in parallel and you must do all four corners. If your anywhere near yorkshire i will be happy to sort it for you for a few beer tokens! Heres my 03 working.

Ogy, you've no idea how much i'd like to take you up on that offer but i think your 300 odd miles away!!

I might have another go myself if all resistors front and rear need to be wired as when i tried i only did the front and was expecting to see these work and when they didn't gave up!!

nick, i thought you had done all four and had the problem..if you've only done the front two then when you do the rears it should be ok.. ... - .- -.

No, only front as thought they would work independantly. Will have to wait till next week now but will update with results.

....that might be the problem solved [hopefully ] ... - .- -.

While your there scarey and clearly a man of knowledge I've seen a blanket repair service for £150 for mk4 sat nav units. If i bought this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...TQ:GB:1123

and got it repaired would i have a cheap sat nav upgrade. Obviously don't know what £££ it will finish on but doubt it will be £££'s

looks like the one nick, makes sense what you propose ....i'll see if i can find some info here..

edit... http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic4418.html?highlight=dvd+nav theres a post [DAN's] that links to an ebay one thats identical to your link nick... ... - .- -.

From what i've read looks like straight swop and seem to go for £350+ so if it stays around this and use this

could be a steal?
