james0202 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2009 Apparently there is a 'new regulation' for WOF and one of them is that you cant ignore the warning messages in the OBC. The right side did not have any power for brake lights so I cut that off and hooked it up to the left. The problem is solved but now the other problem is that OBC will throw messages at me forever. This dumb mechanic thinks chucking the factory ones will fix the problem but I know that is not the case. Is there a way to unhook the OBC (just the OBC not the clock) temporarily?

Why don't you fix the fault instead of trying to hide the warning messages? "The problem is solved" No it is not. it is simply masked, but not solved. Imagine on a Jumbo Jet: "Captain, the Number 1 is on fire" "That's OK CoPilot, just take the bulb out of the warning light" Edited November 7, 2009 by jochen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
