|
|
Hi,
Can anyone help me please, I have a 1996 3.1 TD Bighorn LWB , it has truly been a great vehicle and apart from servicing has required no visits to the garage.
Last week, after I lent it to my darling wife, a light has appeared on the little diagram of the vehicle on the dashbord.
This appears to show the rear wheels flashing about once a second and the word check about 3 times a second (don't know if this is fault code??)
I have no manual and having searched this site I cannot find someone with a similar issue.
So any advise would be greatly appreciated. It had new rear discs when imported about 2 years ago.
Also my heated seat has stopped working... brrr... is there any common faults with this? The light works on the switch, but no warm derriere! Grin!
Many thanks. |

think its your 4 wheel drive light.
put it in 2wd should go out, if not after a few circuits of 4wheel drive two wheel drive its not gone.
itseither a solenoid that needs fettling in the box or wiring to it usual fault |

Check the wiring under the seat, there is a connector that may have come apart from someone stuffing something under the seat. _________________ Phil

Thanks for the replies, I will have a look at the 4WD thingie.
As I believe with my 4WD, I have an extra lever which has 3 positions, one is 2WD the other 4WD and another AUTO(???)
If I use 4WD it only does about 30 mph max, you could never run on a motorway in 4WD is that right?
With regards to my seats, both buttons illuminate, but neither of the seats get warm, I will take a tester to them and make sure power is getting to the seats at least.
eithan h mentioned that the filament in the seats can burn out, if it is this, is it simple to replace or better to forget heated seats?
Thanks for all the postings! |

The 2nd & 3rd positions for the lever are 4WD low & 4WD high, depending on conditions. No, you wouldn't want to go above 30, especially as, by definition, the surface must be almost undrivable in the first place!
I don't have an indicator panel like yours (earlier vehicle), but I'd guess that it's rear brakes. Matbe your wife drove with handbrake on? Might have been final nail in the coffin! _________________ 1995 Vauxhall Monterey

they are simple to replace you just have to be able to take the seat apart |

Hi , I had the heating pad replaced in my 3.0l under warranty ,the dealer said this was a good thing as they come in at around £250.00, so if it is the filament I,d just leave it alone _________________ da boss was here! (accordin' to ma weans) |

I too have the check light flashing on my 1995 bighorn. I don't know what it means. Because its a japanese import, Isuszu UK don't know either. If anyone has any info on this please let me know.
Thanks |
