Firmware update maybe?

Are you using PM? or other software to drive the MCP?

If PM - try restarting the MCP software. The startup indications will flash on and off, then it should come up after 10 seconds. If not - check your wideserver/clients are connected.

Also (without PM MCP running) have you tried to use the MCP config software that comes with the MCP. That should bring it to life, even without FS or anything else running.

hi guys,thanks for the help,but up to now,nothing,before as soon as i started the power on the sim,she did display the rel number then wait for pm mcp to start,i will sort it out during the week as its cabling in the old bulbs on my glare shield today,had a look yesterday when i took the mcp off and what do you know,lots of bulbs ect already there,so i will rewire to a 12v supply and bobs your uncle,
anyway cheers for the help i will advise of the outcome,
cheers
