shepheap Posted March 20, 2013 Report Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) '03 130 Ghia with 127kDriving home tonight thought I'd drop in at the garage to let them know I wanted them to do some work on the suspension top mounts, and bits that are rattling, anyway, 70mph+ on the motorway when suddenly warning lights - ABS, engine management, horn stopped working, speedo stopped working, indicators stopped working, fuel warning flashing on/off (odd!),.Made it to the garage and by a process of elimination worked out that fuse 3 was at fault. Replaced it, blew straight away. Whilst trying to work out which of the circuits was at fault found flames dripping from under the front off side wing!!!! Slight panic but fire extinguisher at hand - sorted.Turns out to be the aircon pressure sensor (I think! - photo attached), mounted under the offside wing behind the fog light, which has overheated and caught fire!!!!Had noticed a couple of weeks ago that the aircon had stopped working so this could be the problem. Anyone come across this before, or know of any reason why the sensor would reach such extreme temperatures???? Edited March 20, 2013 by shepheap Quote
seatkid Posted March 20, 2013 Report Posted March 20, 2013 Checking the TIS there are two possibilities 1) The garage fitted a fuse greater the the correct 5amp 2) You have a wiring loom short. Given the earlier symptoms, its probably a short in the wiring loom Heres the cct diagram Quote
