As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
Not really, it indicates the switch inputs work, the dash processor is detecting operation and the firmware routine is working but the output IC's to the indicators could have failed. These IC's are usually well protected internally from short circuits etc so I would expect it is more likely an external wiring faultThanks Wayne does that indicate the dash is not at fault as the flasher light on the dash works?
Just rding home from work and the indicators dont light at all but the light on the dash flashes - at a much faster flash rate.
I see from a previous post that the flasher may be integrated with the instrument cluster which could be a huge problem
any ideas out there?
OK Ill check the wiring and see how we go, globes seem to be ok
Thanks Wayne
