SUMMERFIELD Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 The first sign of a problem was when the dashboard clock stopped,it wouldn,t advance when you pressed the button. when you lock the car with the remote only the passenger doors lock,when you stop the engine and remove the key the tacho still reads the tick over speed and both the temp / fuel gauges still regester, If you leave the lights on remove the key and open the drivers door the lights on reminder alarm doesn't work, By inserting the ignitition key and slowly turning it all the gauges return to zero and then the engine starts and they work normal, also when you remove the key both the odometer resets to zero along with both memories in the fuel consuption/trip computer.I have tried disconnecting the battery,checking the well under the passenger seat (bone dry) Every thing else electrical appears to work (even the auxilary heater works!) Is it the brake light switch? (the brake lights work) or a brocken wire in the door/car loom. the car is 5 years old and done 63000 miles. Quote
