Exclamation Knocklink `LEDs` replacements ?

The LED bulbs need replacing in my knocklink after the person soldering them onto a remote peice of cable seems to have fecked `em.
Anyone know if these LEDs are available. I`ve tried my local auto electrical so called `specialist` but no good there.

Neil.

I would doubt if all of them were fecked unless he's forgotten to put a series resistor in place or been seriously clumsy with the soldering iron, check the common or shared connection between them if all of them won't work.

If you need LEDs, you can buy them from farnell:

One more thing: Check the LEDs are wired the correct way round: there is a flat spot on the base of the LED, this marks the negative lead.

Thanks Jiggery.

I`ve checked them again and only 3 light up, all seem to be earthed properly. I`ll swap one with the other then I`ll know.

Morpheous, thanks for pointing me in the direction of Maplins, got some today & replaced the knackered LEDs. Quite easy really, if I`d `ve known how easy it was going to be I`d have done the job myself to start with.
