Just checked the passenger side, and I guess someone has been here before |

Time permitting, we normally do both sides as matter of course

Reading this thread - the faults Martyn had detailed are almost exactly what I’ve got! Looks like Mikey is right about the earth connection. By any chance Martyn did your tailgate fail to open during all this? |

Hi again Martyn, can you remember if it was just the front part of the underwing you had to remove (5/6 screws)? Thanks |

Thanks a lot for this thread. It led me straight to the fix. I went for an easy solution by using the bracket above as the new ground point. I can confirm that only the front half of the underwing is neccessary to remove.

Checked mine today and they were all good but those black plastic clips were hard to release, so ordered some new ones,also the bottom two metal clips have rusted so need two of those. cleaned every where and put back for now.

Shot in the dark but did this fix your issue ? |

I'd just like to thank the original poster for the excellent information. It would have taken me DAYS to figure out what was wrong, and in this case, 30min.

Hi all. Other day rr was drove to farm 15 mins drive was perfect. Then come to start to go home and dash lit up like christmas tree, pretty much identical faults to the threads original poster. So tested batteries, small one was fine big one was not. Confirmed this with a proper battery tester agm batteries, buzzing thought i was onto a winner. Fitted said battery used a scanner to tell it had a new battery carried out and said carried out successfully. Still abs warning aswell as other faults shown in the thread. Speedo inop. So today iv made new earth points o/s and n/s check battery connections and a few other earth points all fine. Checked live and earth to abs pump both fine (main live not can). Before i stick an abs pump on does anyone have any input or had this fault and the earth point didnt fix it ?? Any help much appreciated thanks |

Have you done any other diagnostic work? Seems a bit extreme to just throw a £1500 ABS block at the car |
