A very pissed of Brian

[YELL MAN]

I have a big problems to get of my chest so here goes.

I arrived at one of my pals places after a bit of a drive not long ago and heard a strange buzzing noise coming from the drivers door so i switched of the ignition to see if the buzzing stopped, no joy. I then tried the windows but they wouldn't move (passenger or drivers). So figuring the noise could only be the windows going haywire. I attempted to find a fuse but didn't see it marked on the fuse box cover. I then frantically started pulling out each fuse to see if i could cut the power but had no luck. The panic really set in when i started to smell burning so i frantically took out the rear seat and disconnected the battery (what i should have done to start with). Anyway i then took of the parcel shelf to see if i could find a fuse or relay there. I found the relay and pulled it out thinking that it would solve the problem until i could get it home for a proper look. So i reconnected the battery and was instantly met with the buzzing noise again . I then decided to leave it for the night and come back with proper tools to get the door panel off. The next day i got the panel off and found this is what was making the noise.


When i unplugged it and turned it upside down water pissed out of it and you can see where it has burnt. Now i have the problem of my windows not working the box must have something to do with the alarm system and are wired into the windows so right now i am not a happy chappy.

Anyway thanks for listening(reading) about my problems it seems to help getting it off my chest

I feel for you, i seem to remember one of the first issues i ever had with my car was the fan wouldn't start in traffic due to a short which melted the fusebox and half the wiring........about 3 days before going on a 2 week holiday with the car.

Hopefully that won't be so bad to get sorted, just need to isolate the problem of where the water got in from.

Good luck
