I keep getting random letters, signs, numbers all over my SEC unit screen, making it unreadable. Some times it flicks back to normal, other times it just shows random rubbish for the whole journey. It seems to be getting worse aswell now. I have checked that all the plugs are put in properly, but this seems to make no difference.

Any ideas?? Its about 4 years old now, so i can't see it being repaired/replaced under warantee.

 

Have you contacted the supplier/manufacturer?

 

I did ring a few weeks back but no answer and all nu,bers, and i did try a few times over a few days. I should try again i suppose.

 

sorry if i stated the obvious but i think theyre gonna be your best bet,

if not then try and find a secs dealer and explain your problems

 

Austen,

I have got exactly the same problem with my SECS Unit, which is also around the same age.

Having had this problem for a couple of years, I would suggest that it is heat related, as most of the time it is triggered by heat from the sun through the window onto the dash.

I have mailed PSI3 about the possibility of having the unit serviced, but I don't think they could be bothered, by their response.

Disconnecting the leads normally solves the problem for an hour or so.

must be damm annoying cos they aint cheap

 

I,m sure the guy i dealt with about a year ago was Simon,he couldn,t have been more helpfull when i had a problem with a unit....i,m sure i got his number through a supplier of secs units.

If i can find it i,ll p.m it to you.

 

they are useless.. been waiting for a sensor which I paid for for 18 months.. they don't answer phone or email mesages any more...

 

Brilliant news!!! My unit seems to be triggered by vibration, hence why i thought it was a loose connection. Sometimes when i belt the top of the dash it comes back to normal, but it seems to be getting worse

 

Sounds like a dry solder joint on the circuit board, wip the unit out remove side and rear screws and check all solder joints on circuit board resolder any suspect ones and you will prob find that its cured.
