some electrics have stopped working

Postby maximus94 » Fri Jun 19, 2015 5:58 pm

The other day the wipers, air con and power windows all stopped working. Sounds like a fuse but i checked and they all seem fine. Any ideas?

Thanks :)

How did you check? Visual, or multimetre?

Sometimes fuses can blow and still look fine visually.

Sorry to stalk you Max.

Very rarely the ignition barrel doesn't click back to turn the accessories back on after starting. There's about 1mm in it so it's not obvious. Give it a wiggle and everything will come back to life. I'd recommend giving it a hit of graphite.

Don't be afraid to hit me up with any little queries like that in the future - text or PM me.

Also I'm selling those Konis/Kings in the for sale forums - possibly very cheap.
