Hey all,
Fitted a pair of genuine T6.1 led taillights to my T6 last night. All de-pinned, new connectors etc. & everything work as should, only now I’ve got the usual bulb out warning on the dash.
Now I’m sure I’ve read that this can be turned off using Carista, only I can’t find that option anywhere on it!
Has anyone turned this off using Carista or has it got to be done by vcds?
Cheers
 
I was sure I’d read it on one of the led conversion threads that Carista will do it, but I can’t seem to find it on mine
 
Cheers both, yes found it on Carista Beta last night.
Both have been disabled now, but has made no difference. Still bringing the warning light & fast indicator flash, so guessing will need to go down the resistor route!

did you clear it from the memory ? Someone else had the same issue and disconnected and reconnected the battery to clear it
 
Excuse my ignorance, but I always thought the fast turn indicator flash was due to a blown indicator bulb. Are you suggesting that the fast turn indicator flash on the dashboard is a further indication of a bulb fault anywhere on the vehicle? I have a very intermittent bulb warning light and even more intermittent fast flash.

Disconnected the battery & still no different, reckon I’ll have to go down the route of resistors.

My bulb out warning light comes on as soon as I touch the indicators, switch the van off & the warning light goes out until I touch the indicators again!

This is what I fitted (5 years ago) to our t5.1.
Just remember the load resistors get warm.so cable tie them inside the arch where they can't touch the plastic liner .

Edit - sorry link.doesnt work .
Something like these - Pardon our interruption...

Yeah I’ll use resistors if I have to.
I was hoping to avoid using them & just code out the bulb monitoring, which I’m sure I’ve read that you can.
Cheers for the link though, I’ll take a look :thumbsup:
 
Switching the bulb monitoring off will sort the light on the dash but not sure if it will sort your hyperflash 🤔.
