[faisalak7]

Hi

I have ford galaxy 54 plate recently it has developed a very strange problem i don't know if any one come across with this.

Ok here is the brief description

 

'' Some times my boot doesn't open then i have to use my key after that when i start my car rear wiper, reversing lights, back fog lights doesn't work

and there is fog light sign on the dash board which u see when parking lights are on or when i apply breaks but its very dim but when i apply breaks it highlights more like fog lights are on but basically they are not . Now i have noticed that some time the small red light on the door which should come only when i lock the care comes while i am driving the car ''

 

I have no idea what to do .

Any suggestion will be very help full

 

Many thanks

First of all welcome to the forum.

 

This is a very common problem, you will have broken/chafed wiring in the rubber gaiter to the tailgate door.

You will need to cut out the bad parts and solder in new lengths of suitable sized cable.

 

You may also experience problems at some point with other doors but more so the drivers door with central locking and electric window problems, again usually down to broken wiring.

That's lot

That's good to know it's not major problem

I will take it to electrician.

Will update .

 

Many thanks

Thanks

 

Tail gate wiring sorted everything is working fine except front heated screen which was fine before repairing

Does this wiring problem has any link to auto gear box.??

As car is not engaging the reverse gear i have to restart the car about 10 times then it starts working .
