hello i got a few problems with my digi dash i fitted last week.
1: when the engine is on and i turn the headlight switch on the dash flickers off then on... there was a wire i left out, the white / yellow i think, it said put to headlight switch, could this be the reason for it flickering?
2: 1 of my illumination bulbs have blown... where do i get new 1s from?
3: my engine management light is coming up as the ABS light... have i got a wire mixed up? it didnt say anything about this in the wiring diagram.
4: im not getting a warning light for my fog light, have i missed a wire? or could this be the white / yellow 1 aswell maybe?

any help would be much appreciated
thanks :thumb:

1 In theory by not wiring up the headlight to it it shouldn't know if the headlights are turned on or not. Think that wire is to dim it slightly when the lights are on?

2 Try Vauxhall or a motor factors.

3 Think so

4 Novas don't have dash illumination for foglight as far as I know, the switch just lights up?
