Hello all,

 

My electric mirrors, air con and heater system, windows wipers and worst of all the clock!!! :confused:

Have for no reason but there own stopped workin?!?! :headvswal

 

And am as usless as a inflatable dart board when it comes to this stuff any ideas please :bow:

 

Cheers Andy. :D :D

Check all your fuses Andy,it will be one if not more have blown.There are two fuse boxes in engine bay and one, right hand panel of drivers footwell

They all seem ok what about the relays??

Someone must have an idea, all fuses are fine and all connections seem ok PLEASE!!

check the relays mate, much more likely if loads of sh*ts gone at the same time, dont panic though they really aint much to replace if theyve gone wrong.

Cheers ive checked the relays in the engine bay but the ones in the drivers footwell, how can u tell which relay is for where?!?

All of those items (apart from the clock) draw a lot of juice so it's gotta be a big fuse. There's some main fuses in the engine compartment - not in the main fuse box, but close to the dash, drivers side. My money's on one ogf them blowing. But finding a blown fuse is not your problem - it's finding what blew it in the first place...

 

Good luck

Ive checked there as well and they also seem fine, am well confused, has anyone any ideas left, looks like ill have to go to my local electric person and get charged 20 billion in labour for a 20p part!!! Such is life!!

...I'm struggling here but if all of the fuses are ok there has to be a major connection block from the dash area into the main wiring loom that carries all of these connections. Have you been doing anything under the bonet or behind the dash that could have seperated a connection block?

 

Try unplugging them and reconnecting them - in the engine compartment - one by one - and at the same time check for the dreaded green oxidisation? that affects the contacts. If you find any, clean it up. If you leave the ignition on at the same time and you inadvertantly cure the fault you'll hear the heater motor start up...

 

...and then if it still dosn't work - talk to your friendly auto electrician...

 

Good luck

Thanks for ur help matey, but your not goin 2 believe this, had the whole fuse box out in the drivers well and the relay for the aux was missing, which i found below in the carpet how it got there i do not know but everything is workin, cant understand it but sure it saved me a big bill!!!! :)

Well done mate. You can now shed the 'inflatable dartboard' description of your mechanical capabilities. Full DIY cambelt change next I expect...

 

cheerz
