Well I have a few problems , these galaxies seem to have

a mind of their own !!!

 

1. The temperature gauge goes up and down at will making the engine race on, tickover ?

2. The interior lights come on at will when I am driving and hazards flash which is a bit annoying.

3. when the car is locked and I pull on driver door handle slightly the interior lights come on and don't go off!

4. The remote control for locking/unlocking works now and then ?

 

can anyone help

1) reported to be temperature sensor causing these symptoms on some variants

2) lay odds on wiring in the rubber boots between doors/tailgate and the chassis could also cause 4)

3) again could be wiring as above or dodgy door switch

 

Check the faq for info on rubber boot extraction ...... :blink:

1) engine temp sensor needs replacing (cost us

2) mmmm, could be a dodgy earth? - when i removed my drivers seat (for computer install) there was an earth connection there, which i used for an earth, when i removed the screw, and then put it back again, the interior lights came on!

that would be because you had the door open and the ground point for the door switch is under the drivers seat! when you removed that wire you broke the circuit! the interior lights should have switched off if that was the only door you had open?

the door (doors?) had been open so long, the lights had timed out, when me fingers were fiddling <_<
