Got an interesting, altho somewhat major problem with my electrics since driving last night...
Central locking isnt working on the key anymore... sounds simple enough at first, only it seems somewhat more major than this..... first main problem being that i can no longer get fuel in the car as the cover is locked shut!
When unlocking the drivers door on the key its the only lock to unlock, the interior lights come on, but they FLICKER LOTS!!! also can hear a clicking from behind the drivers side rear panel.... this then got worse... i turned on the ignition assuming that the clicking was the motor for the CL trying to work but couldnt, except that now i have lots more clicking, from a relay under the dash marked up as 12v 40a, so a hefty one, lights carry on flickering, car wont start either, but the voltmeter is staying on at constant 12v, so that ignition circuit is running fine.
I can only assume its an earth issue..... where on the other hand i have no idea!
It was all working fine..... then i drove few miles in the rain last night and back again, then the problems, so im guessing the water has caused some kind of issue maybe as nothing else has happened unless its just something failed at the same time???
Help is really needed as i just spent the last 2 hours looking with a torch etc lol
