Diagnostic connecting lead

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Do you need a lead to connect to a laptop, or are you just looking to read codes.
If the latter, a simple Blink Code reader will suffice. You can probe the connector and read the codes.

Hi dieselman. Thanks for your post. I just need to solve a ABS problem. If a blink code reader will do the job, great. Where can I buy one, and how much do they cost please.

Just make one out of a few parts. you need a push to make switch, an LED, a resistor, a couple of bits of wire, two battery connection clips and a pin connector.
