Tech2

**tammyman09** · 19th November 2010, 13:17

Hi.

Does anyone know anyone in the Tamworth area or around Tamworth who can do a Tech2 session to activate my fog lights?

Stealers have quoted silly money!

Thanks in advanced

Hmmm never used the body control side of my opcom but could have a peep!.

Out of curiosity, how much did the dealer quote mate ?

I think they quoted about £45, but that was going back a few months, i can't quite remember. I just hadnt got round to activating them yet. im going to give them a ring again today and see. but that was back when I had my CD70 and wanted that coded to my veccy aswell.

Depends on two things...

1) Fog lights is controlled via the Under Hood Electrical centre (Engine bay module under the fuse box)

2) Dependent upon your specific car - not all UEC's are re-programmable... mine isn't.

(To have fog-lights enabled, I would have to get a new module fitted (2005 plate full CAN pre facelift Energy 1.9CDTi 150) )

I hard wired mine idependently via a light controlled relay, very similar to the How 2.

Assuming that you use a proper Op-Com, Tech 2 or Vaux-Com etc...
then with the wrong UEC, you will get nowhere.

The correct UEC module will program up easy enough with any of the above units.

So even if the loom was there (which it was) it still might not program?

Well...I bought a op-com device off the bay. It worked a treat, now i have the fogs activated, i get a reading that there is an open on both of them with bulb failure warning, i assume the bulbs are tatered in them or have been removed when i had my bumper repaired after the accident!

Does anyone know if you can program the TC switch with an op-com device (not had a propper look yet!)

The tc switch may not even work regardless.

I have one like many others and it wont work at all.

You need to see if you have the wiring and something else i think?

What year is the car?
