Default escos aux warning lapms in dash

does anyone know where the aux warning module that drives the low fuel and washer bottle lamps on the dash is,

just noticed that mine dont light up when i put the ignition on - they used to... dug out the wiring diagrams and hey presto, there is a module that they plug into - anyone know where it is/what it looks like - i didnt know there was one to be honest,,,, pic below

Hi Dave,
On teh tach we actually just remove a pull down resistor by bypassing it, so the original signal reaches the tach motordrive in a better state than originally as the clocks are designed to work with a 300V input signal which is pulled down to about 1v at teh motor and we are only providing about 180ish so require less fitering ideally.

Almost definately nothing to do with your problem Dave, sorry pal.
