Hi,

 

Got an electrical fault - need some help on.

 

Lost aircon & aircon display, wipers & clock.

 

Its not the fuses & checked aircon relay. Checked connectors behind switch panel on left hand pod.

 

I have had it go before - messed around in the engine bay & somehow got it working again (but not sure what it was i did & cannot seem to replicate fix this time) So suspect it is a loose connection or shorting out etc..

 

Anyone know what else i can try or where to look or narrow it down..

 

Aircon fuse in engine bay has no power to it when i put a multimeter on it (with aircon switched on)..

 

Any ideas?

 

I hate this fault as it stop me driving the thing - with no wipers in this weather..

I've taken a look at the circuits, and the only common thing between them is the main Fuse/Relay box in the engine compartment. I'd suggest taking the whole unit out and checking for any loose, broken or 'gunged-up' connectors for the fuse side.

I would of said check the wiring in the side pod, but with your clock not working as well, then that rules that out. there are no other similarities between the affected circuits.

The clock may not be connected - could just be conicedence that it's playing up (since they all do eventually) - worth checking the pod imo.

you may have a faulty ingnition barrel. ie, not sensing the key turn properly

Certainly check for chaifing (sp?) in the back of the pod, but as air-con and wipers have separate looms, it would be a hell of a coincidence, but always worth checking though.

Again not impossible, but doubtful unless your radio isn't working also?!? As this is controlled via the ACC circuit of the barrel. But again, not to be dismissed altogether though.
