Bojmobile 0 Posted May 6, 2004 That's crazy! Sometimes I get the feeling cars want to kill you - I had two Escorts that seemed to want to off me at every opportunity! - so you've opened the fusebox and had a look? Your lights work but no fogs? Do your brake lights work? Skooshers? What year is your car - the later ones sunroofs close off the central locking do they not? Does that still happen? Have you done anything out of the ordinary to the car recently? The problem is electrically orientated - are all the relays in place? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted May 9, 2004 The earth strap from the battery would be my first thing to check... :? It's the thick wire which has the actual clamp on the battery molded/welded onto it which then feeds down the back of the battery, then bolts onto the chassis, and continues onto the gearbox... They have a nasty habbit of oxidising (they go green or white and flakey when they do this) and mess about with the electrical systems something rotten... :( Has your car got ABS, and is it Left Hand Drive? If it has both then this is almost certainly an electrical fault... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazG60 0 Posted May 10, 2004 yes its got abs & its LHD .....&... :oops: the battery was not tightend in correct ...but....i can blame that on my friend because he was the 1 who fitted it in when my hand was busted up back in january 8) i will be buying my support the forum,corrado stickers when i come over in 1 month :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
