csj Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Hello mk2 galaxy 2001 . Just recently my trip has been erratic it scrolls through each section on its own ,and won't command from the stalk (most of the time) Could this just be a stalk problem ? Also car goes flat after a couple of days no interior lights in so not them could this be related to the trip comp Thank you Quote
gregers Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 sounds like you have a drain somewhere,hows the fuse box under the bonnet doing?? Quote
csj Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Posted February 11, 2016 Never looked , what should I look for ? Would this cause the trip as well , thank you Quote
BrianH Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 The fusebox meltdown issue effects the instrument cluster so possibly yes. Have a look at the underbonnet fusebox for signs of melting/burning. Any other faults you've seen appearing? Quote
csj Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Posted February 12, 2016 Looked at fuses all look good just one wire turning a little green Quote
BrianH Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 take it off and have a proper look - your looking for signs of burning. Which bits are green (if its the wire then the wire inside the insulation maybe a lot worse than you think - take it off and have a proper look at it, while your there clean it off). Theres a common issue on some of the mk2's with a poor crimp on the end of those connections causing it to overheat and fail - Theres fix info in the faq i think, put simply its a case of soldering the joint and replacing any damaged wires/connectors/fusebox as needed.
