ATC engaging but lamp does not light? Does anyone have any idea how to fix this, is it just a new LED?

Just had a email from ALKO, its likely to be the LED, you can buy from our shop.

Try E-bay you didn't say your van make. It's usually the LED that blows.

Some info that may help :http://www. al-ko. co. uk/edit/files/handbooks/atc-handbook. pdf

DaveA thanks very much for the info but already found them on Ebay ordered yesterday. Will let you know how I get on, some people say it is water getting into the socket that is the trouble so will give the socket a good clean.

But I can,t believe the cost if it was a car component it would be a £10.

Thanks for all the replies.

From another forum a "segapod" very helpfully offers us a much cheaper DIY work around using bi colour LEDs from this link.

Thanks, Port, will send for a led see how easy it is to fix the old unit for future ref.

Ok sent for the leds and simple workround if anyone would like to test it PM me, must be a bailey.

I have one working on my van so should be ok, but unable to test this one as not able to get on the van.

Jim, did you find a resistor or two were already in the old lead, or any needed adding?

Is it simply switch the old LED out for the new one?

Had mine replaced under warranty at 3rd service.

Cheers
