Title: Electrical gremlins / haunted car...
Post by Scorpioen84 on Jan 20^th, 2006, 1:17pm

Hi...

I turn of the engine, the windscreenwacher motor starts, and the wipers...

I take the key OUT, and the car thinks the key stand in second posisjon (the one before the engine starts.) lights on and so on...

So i have been in the fucebox and ripped out most fuces and relles... (incredible how little fuces the car actualy needs to start... ;D )

Ive tryed to dry the fucebox and have used compressed air all around to get ALL the dirt and leafs but the car still wont behave.... >:(

Am i in need of a rebuild of the fucebox.? (price.?? )

If the wether is a bit bether omorrow we are driving home ( 670km ride ) and i wold hate to get stuck with a broken down car somewhere in the norwegian mountans.... :o

We made it home, and the car is behaving, as long as i dont have the fuce for the front wipers&windscreenwachermotor...

So maby its a earthfault in on of those motors..........?
(if that is posible vithout the fuce going...... )
