Bingy Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I had this exact same problem 2 years ago. This is what was happening on my speedometer. It was hard to photograph as the sign was flashing on/off As well as the door locks, the indicators, wipers and starter motor all started to behave irratically. The independant had it some 3 weeks and still couldnt find the problem. Even replaced the Becm chip. Turned out to be water getting in to the fusebox underneath the steering wheel. It was coming from the top of the windscreen, running down the pillar, onto the wires and into the fusebox that way. The fusebox itself looked ok from the front, it was only when the fusebox itself was dismantled from the disco you were able to see the full extent of the damage to the rear of it. Alt of the chip modules had fried as a result of water getting on them. I was lucky that the car didnt set on fire. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
