Lexia Clones and new cables

Post by xsaras4ever »

Hello to all from Bretagne.

Its been a while since we have been on here - which is lazy in terms of giving help to others (sorry) but suppose it means that our cars are behaving themselves.

Anyway, our Chinese Clone Lexia has always been a bit tempermental - whork one day and not the next - or does one function perfectly - wont do another function and then will do nothing atall.

We have electrical contact cleaner for the connections etc etc.

Has anybody had this problem and solved it by buying a better set of cables ???

Thanks in advance

Yes, its well known that some of these cloned cables have either spurious, swapped or missing connections internally. :shock:

Which cable is giving you problems? Can you access the pining to the flex cable? Might be worth checking the pins to see if any are loose or missing.
