Ideas on Ice detector ?
Discussion
Does anybody have a ice detector like this 95' , its not in the hand book and i think different to the one in the bible . I think it used to show red and green when the ignition is first switched on and then both go out unless very cold ,but can't be sure , but now only green comes with ignition , . It does detect temp with the green LED like today was on when parked in the shade and of in the sun and in the garage . But no red or when the ignition is put on is that correct ?. Just wondering if anybody new if it was a separate connector to the red ( bad connection maybe ) before i take the dash top off or had problems with them or if it is correct that only the green come on with the ignition.
Was wondering what that was on my new chim it both come on with the ignition, but then the lights change in this cold weather, sometimes is just green sometimes its green and red and somtimes its off.
Thats about all i have noticed :-)
was about to take a picture and start a thread myself.

Probably,This was an option and not standard .The worst bit was drilling the hole for the light in the dash without chipping it .Then they were pre drilled before the walnut finish was applied and made life a lot easier.The probe runs over the n/s wheel arch and should not be in direct air flow as the wind chill factor confuses it.Am i sad or what can still remember things like this?
If it still works i would mount it in the the steering cowl ie the wiper/indicator cover in a place you can see it when the wheel is at strait ahead,the wires will be long enough.If you want to put it back in the dash put some masking tape on the front of the walnut and drill from the front to the back .Start with a 3/32 bit then a 1/8 and so on to about 6mm .Felt tip pens are good for hiding small marks .Good luck .Make sure you use new drill bits.

The handbook doesn't list it. Next problem i will have is need to replace my dash as it has some cracks in it. So suspect i have to drill a hole in the replacment dash. any tips ????.
Yes, drill the hole in the dash BEFORE you get it reveneered! LCC will veneer around any holes that are there. You were going to get it reveneered rather than getting a new one? LCC do a real quality job, loads better than factory. With all due respect. Notice mine has an alloy surround from the later cars.

+5 celsius green on +2 celsius green plus red on 0 celsius green off red on .When the ignition is switched on the green light should stay on for 9 seconds.That will be £10 to my pay pal account please .AKA
. Thanks rs mexico , and from one of the men who built these and probably mine ! . So its working fine , I have just a green for about 9sec then it goes out . Its Probably due to global warming that i have not seen the red for while then !.
Thanks again
