Default Electrical problems

Dear all,

thanks for the replies I got re the sparky problems my new conny is displaying.

I tried taking out the 6 way control connector to the FBH and the car displayed a few more strange things after, rather than being any better.

As it was raining I am inclined to check for loom damage, although I would have thought shorting would have taken out at least one of the fuses, which are in fact, all sound.

Most striking of the new strange things was that I took out the FBH connector, left the car for a few hours, and whne I came back, the auot wipers were working.

I then noticed that I had left the control stalk in the first position, but the ignition key was out - however, the car did not mind as the lower disply of the IPK was cheeerily lit up showing mileage etc!

When I tried to lock the car, it gave a beep and refused to operate the locks.

When I got home, the display went out, the car locked, but after 5 minutes, the alarm went off, and the display was back on.

The display is now off, and the locks and alarm working.

I might have got further with the car, but I got a bug and spent Friday in bed, so forgive the late reply.

I will now try to get a radio code for the car and do the battery reset as advised by all you knowlegable owners out there and report back.

Best regards, Frank
