hengti 2 Posted June 26, 2006 sounds like the dim dip resistor for the headlights with the ignition off, turn on the side lights - the sidelight bulbs (seperate to the main bulbs) should come on. then turn on the ignition - the main bulbs should also come on (dimly) - if this doesn't work, it sounds as though the resistor/wiring has had it careful though - there's another identical looking one near by for the rad fan switch - it's often found ontop of the radiator. this one definately needs to be working!

leigh1900 1 Posted June 26, 2006 thanks a lot for that i'll check that tomorrow. just another small question ive posted this on another post but i can't find the plug that goes to the gearbox sensor and was wondering if this may have been attached to the 2 pin socket that is located next to the expansion tank on pass side of car as there is a plug there with nothing attached to it cheers leigh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted June 27, 2006 Which gearbox sesnor? There is only the reversing light switch plugged onto the gearbox. If the plug you have found is a red two pin one then don't worry, most (if not all) 205's have them. No one has found what its for yet afaik. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leigh1900 1 Posted June 28, 2006 cheers ive found that plug also but the one ive found sits right next too the expansion tank and its white. as for the reverse plug to the top of gearbox i dont have that one anywhere in the loom any suggestion as to where that wire goes back from the plug to the wiring loom would be welcome cheers leigh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j-16 1 Posted June 28, 2006 4" cylinder - compressor for horn? Below headlight by the end of the radiator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ren 0 Posted June 28, 2006 cheers ive found that plug also but the one ive found sits right next too the expansion tank and its white. Does this sit to the side of the expansion tank on the strut top? 2 pin? If so I have this and it is not plugged in to anything. Was wondering what it was for as well.

leigh1900 1 Posted June 29, 2006 dont think so it is attached right behind the headlight on a clip but is def not a compressor its about as thick as a roll of 10p's cheers leigh Does this sit to the side of the expansion tank on the strut top? 2 pin? If so I have this and it is not plugged in to anything. Was wondering what it was for as well. thats the one. the guy that put the engine in left loads unplugged so just thought that this might have been one of his missed efforts cheers leigh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
