TE450 Neutral Light Stays on.... :/

08 450 with a bit of an odd problem - the neutral light stays on and does a single regular blink every 3 seconds or so, while stationary, or while running up the road.

Ibeat shows no error codes, and its not the same flash as when there is a code anyway as its mainly staying on.

Also ibeat shows when the gearchange is moved, ie 1-N-2-3-4-5-6 so that would suggest the gear detecting circuitry is all working correctly!

Any ideas??

You sure the green light is not the indicators? I got caught out with that on my 09 TE450. Always thought the green was indicators, Blue high beam, orange fuel low/reserve.

Ah no its definitely the neutral light...

Have you checked the wiring from the sensor by the shifter for any chaffing or loose wires? Have you inspected the wiring harness at all?

What is up with this site I post a reply and several days later its still waiting approval... I'm clearly not spam :/

Yes I have checked the wiring, and checked the resistance of each gear position at the ECU plug so am "reasonably" confident that the wiring is ok.

My wifes 250 had that problem.

Check the tip over sensor delete resistor pack ( tip over sensor was 510smr only ).

When I pulled the cover off the thing it looked like this, see the problem.



I just went down to frys after measuring the resistors in there, bought some new ones and soldered them in.

Ah, interesting, thanks! Will report back.....
