It's being strange with me, it's not detecting the trailer (done with a switch that breaks contact when the plug is insterted)
when i first fitted the module and was wiring it up, it suddenly started working right... if i removed a bulb from the trailer board i was testing it on, it showed up the trailer bulb check warning on the dash,
But i put it all in properly, and tried again, and it just wont detect the plug being insterted,
and stupidly i used the op-com, that has a change vin option, and a basic setup option, only 2 choices, a 'swivel type trailer hitch' or not, and led or non led trailer lights (disables bulb checking) so i tried the different options, and at first it totally stopped working, but i remember that before i selected the trailer hitch type.. it was saying 'not aplicable' as the option.. then the 2 i could select...
so i think the op-com has done it's usual and half programes something and totally screwed everything else up like it does when trying to change dashboard options.
But the Tech2 flat out refuses to program or change options due to my vin number.. .which related to an A13DTE engined vehicle, and it says 'no software available' and 'hardware mismatch' when trying. even if i change the vin in the Tech2 to the 1.6 LUE engined vehicle the TIM has in it... it's pulling my vin from either the BCM or somewhere, and refusing to procede.
Wish i knew someone with a meriva B without the A13DTE engine and a towbar, who would let me put my TIM in their car and program it... but i know that's unlikely incase i screw other things up,
so trying to figure out what i need to bench program the thing... a BCM.. but will i need an engine ecu too... and will they need to report sensors and that.
wish i'd learn to stop messing when things begin to work... tho tbh everythign else so far has programmed straight in, and i guess if the engien wasnt the one that says no tow bar allowed, this would work too.
