Electrical Problems

[jonny]

I've got a few electrical problems which I am hoping may all be related?

 

Dashboard Information area (where it has outside temp / warning messages / what gear) - has stopped working completely,

Drivers side mirror (won't move, but passenger will!),

Passenger window (can control with drivers side switch but not passenger side)

Drivers window (when going up may stop and start going down instead!)

Parking sensors just beep at me and don't sense!

 

The top 2 have just happened, the bottom 3 have been ongoing for a while.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

would bet my mortgage on these being either broken wires or broken insulation and shorting wiring in the looms that go through the rubber boots between the doors and pillars - look in the faq (click on the link in my sig)

 

Shorting may well case problems with the dash (may be a fuse gone)

I recently had these problems, it was somehow related to an earth point under the drivers seat. However, i could not find this earth point, so I connected an earth point from the drivers electric window coupling to the door and all systems started working i.e. the sunroof, the electric windows & mirrors.
