Excellent site. Found it yesterday after our galaxy died and came surfing for info.

 

Can anybody help?

 

Car started first thing then died within a few seconds. Now cranks over as normal but does not fire. After cranking there is a double beep from somewhere!

 

Having read past posts relay 30 looks a good candidate. Will be buying a haynes today to find out where relay 30 is!!!! When I turn the ignition on I don't hear anything happening - fuel pump etc - however I never noticed anything before.

 

When I turn the ignition on now the LED flashes rapidly for about a minute. It then stops. Then flashes once. Stops. Then flashes 6 times. Does anybody know what this means - is there a list in the haynes manual or is that expecting too much??

 

Thanks

Steve

 

PS. Wish I'd found this site before - seized wipers, water in the footwell, aircon not cooling, fuel smells, scraped knuckes doing the pollen filter, front brake judder with new new discs - the list is endless- and these are only the ones I can remeber whilst typing this up.

 

Cheers

hi,haynes book dont say much about fuse box or relays,it sounds like relay 30,but relay 167(for fuel pump)is also a possibility.i have this trouble with mine for relay 167.

[Steve P]

I hope the Haynes will at least tell me where the relays are and which one is which? I can find the fuse box easy enough !

Steve, Welcome to the forum!

 

Take a look HERE and all should be revealed!!

 

For any common faults there is an FAQ section HERE that should come in very useful!!

 

Hope it goes smoothly for you!

Thanks for all the help folks. Fixed it last night and didn't even have to buy the haynes!! Found a bad soldered joint inside relay 30. Resoldered it and all was back to normal. Could this sort of quality problem be the reason why relay 30 features so frequently on this forum??

 

Thanks again Steve

[Guest HairyPlateEater]

i think quality problems in general is why this forum exists at all!!!

 

Glad you fixed it without cost or much effort! All hail the forum and all who sail in her!! lol
