MG Car Repair: EGR light, speedometer cable, egr valve


Question
I have a 75 Midget 1500 the EGR light came on and my rear tail and break lights are out. How do I reset the EGR light? and does this have anything to do with the light prob?

Answer
Hi Shawn,
The EGR light is set by a counter under the hood on the speedometer cable at every 12,500 miles and can be reset with a key sometimes found in the tool kit. Some had two prongs and you just turned it to reset and others had a push button to reset. The light comes on warning that you should clean the EGR valve of carbon.

The light has nothing to do with tail lights or brake lights. You need to look at your wiring diagram to fix the tail lights.
