Where is the power VIS located.

Hi,

Tried a search but didn't get much. My recently fitted VIS indicator has is telling me that i have issues with my power VIS motor. I would like to take a look at it, but to be honest i dont know where its located. All i know is its the easier one to get to, and its near the top/front/ rather than at the back?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

They are located by the plenum, they motors are screwed down with 4 screws. The power on is the easy one to remove. Its the one in front that faces up, the balance is the one behind that faces the brake fluid reservoir.

When plugging back in connect to the loom first and turn the ign to the 1st postion, this will reset the motor and allow you to line the cam up with the arm in the plenum. It will all make more sense once its removed.

Ok doke cheers for that, that picture is exactly what i need. Is there any need to disconnect the battery?

No just unplug the motor and then you can remove

I've got the power motor off. How do i split it open? Theres lots of tiny clips holding it together around the edge, but even when i undo them it doesnt wan't to split apart really

There is a glue/sealant around the edge, Also the glue that holds the pins for the plug is can be hard to seperate, Try getting a piece of wood to push the pins out and prise it apart.

It would help i guess, im just about to go back out and have another go.

Ive just popped mine apart using a lighter to push the connectors out.

As Nor said I used a small flat screwdriver and worked my way around the edge.

EDIT: I posted this before seeing your post, i'll give it another go tomorow maybe when it stops raining.

Had another go but didn't want to force it too hard so its back in the car now.

Sometimes when i turn the ignition on the green power LED on my Vis indicator will quickly illuminate, then it will go back to the two red LED's like normal. And i still get that 'kick' at 3k RPM.
