Lancia CODE system LED fix

 I had noticed this already for a while, the centre LED never blinked - it's the security Lancia CODE-system related to the keys. Still the car could be started, so I figured the LED might be bad. So now finally time to have this checked.

One side, brown cable, was soldered directly with a resistor to the connector.


The purple wire turned out to be loose. Which very likely was the culprit. I managed to fiddle it back in, which indeed did the trick. But still it was not very firm fitted.


The LED was a special one with two long thin connection feet. So I put everything back and swapped this unit around from my other car. But both are working OK now.


Yes, so now it's working OK in my Kappa SW. Another items off the list:

 I found this Dutch advertisement in my archive, with a green SW just as mine :-)
