Hi all,
Washed the car over the weekend, took the car out for a drive and the ABS light come on, after about 20 miles the car died, lights went off, hazards didn't work, car was showing signs of a dead battery. Waited for about 2 hours for the aa by the time they turned up the car started and I drove home. On the way home the instrument gauges turned off but the car was fine. Next day car was fine but the gauges intermittently didn't work and the climate control back light was dim. After a few miles car sorted itself out.
Today it rained hard and the car broke down again with same symptoms. After being towed home the car started after about 2 hours of not sitting in the rain.
I'm thinking the skuttle pannel isn't sitting right and letting water in plus the rubber grommet for the bonnet catch cable is missing so water might have got in there.
My first point of call is to clean and check all the earth locations my question is where are they? I know there is some under the battery, under the steering wheel, under the skuttle pannel, behind the sub in the boot. Can anyone point me in a direction of a diagram please? Car was fine before I jet washed it and took off the skuttle. Scratching my head. Cheers
