Title: OBC question.
Post by: FL318is on August 29, 2006, 07:44:30 AM

Taking some down time and playing with the car.  My OBC did not work when I bought the car.  So, I accessed it and found it was not plugged in.  Simple enough.  Well when I plugged it in it still did not work.  On closer examination I noticed an "oily" residue near the buttons.  One bulb is blown.

Is there another check or trouble shooting thing?  I can live without it.

I've got a spare one if you need it.  PM me with details.  Worked when I pulled it.

I may just take you up on that.  Why would mine be disconnected?  Where is that "oil" coming from?  PM with a price or trade.
