HELP! Disaster has struck.

Post by DannyH »

Very strange thing has happened to my electricals

the wipers headlights and blowers have all packed in! :shocking:

also the electric window which needless to say was half down at the time. :diablo:

everything else seems fine

have checked the individual fuses and they seem ok?

3 possible causes?

had been through some big puddles, the battery had worked loose on the tray and i switched the car off with the above still on :blush:

anyone any ideas? :dash: :dash: :dash:

Don't think so Alex, but if it did i can't see why it would be so selective in what it knocked out? :crying:

Could possibly be a faulty ignition switch Danny, as i think all the things you mention only work with the ignition on or the engine running ????????? :dunno:


Don't ask me....it was like that when i got here !
