    Just shorted the first gear switch cable with paper clip and hdc stays solid when engaged which from what I can gather is correct and throws amber when in reverse because 1st gear switch is engaged with reverse switch which was the problem I was having in first place ....

    I think Iv sorted it but I don't know what iv done if I'm honest. Took and feed from thermostatic monitor switch that was right color combo for 1st gear switch, had the right connection and length of loom to reach switch and now the waring light gone from dash and hdc works

    OK this is gonna sound really strange. But got a company to check a k series gearbox and the color or wires to 1st gear switch. He told me it was green with black cheese and black.
