Topic: POD help

Hi

Just got myself my first C5 and the LED's on the POD do not come, everything else works. Can anyone let me know the things to check to fix. I am able to check voltages , etc, so any help will be great

Check to see if the pod is even wired up, it might be that it's had a mod done to remove the need for a controll box and pod.  Assuming that it has not, best hope is a dry joint in the pod or poor connections in the pin block at the back of the pod.

Have you gone out for a long run and drained the battery down ? The pod has a built in battery protector and will Buz when the battery has discharged to prevent over discharging.  If it does it's likley not to be anything serious.

Thanks Marty, searched the web, can I ask what wattage do I need or does it not matter

[radiomarty]

The originals were 1/4 watt but worth upping it a bit to maybe 1 watt - having said that I have had no trouble with 1/4 watt replacements - available at maplins / e-bay etc
