Re: c5 x7 gurus.. again
WACK IT...really that is what mine did,..... a few sharp slaps and it came on.
After two weeks of doing this I gave up and I now have added a new earth wire (drilled and screwed) from the bulb mounting to the lamp cluster securing screw via a soldered on brass washer having removed a little paint on the inside. Tighten down the plastic securing nut onto the brass washer and not had a problem since.
It was worked out by someone that the earth is overloaded...apparently

Re: c5 x7 gurus.. again
No point.. theres NOTHING comming down the wire! Ive checked it .. pulled the boot trim out.. followed the cables to the back of the boot and nothing.. and a know its the correct ome because there continunity with 0 resistance..
is there a bsi reset. Apparently dad swapped the bulb.. it worked for 30 seconds and stopped.. just like that. I noticed a slightly mealted earth connection on the plug to the lamp..

Should of done it in the first place before starting to remove trim.. anyway..
easy fix.. I disconnected the battery!!
This must have reset the bsi and all the ecus.. I also added a soldered earth to ring terminal.. to aid the poor earth connection on the plug..
normal service has resumed..

cool, it took a couple of mins but the extra earth seems logical when you work out the voltages into the single group earth....doing my other side tomorrow
