Electrical Problems

[Guest brfc]

Last night I went to open the sunroof and the radio cut out, and the clock re-set itself. I now have no interior light's, no radio, no sunroof operatability and the clock (which is now dimmed) and mileage reset themselves when you re-start the ignition. Does anyone have any ideas ?

Sounds like your interior lighting fuse has blown. Does the courtesy light also not work?

 

It might be a fault with your sunroof, shorting out and drawing too much current, which in turn has blown the fuse.

 

Check its the right value, people often replace them at the road side with a fuse that is rated too low because its all they have.

 

There mihgt be a seperate 'memory fuse' which is why your mileage and clock reset themselves after a large power drain (starting the car). The fuse might have blown.

Depending on year of car, check:

 

2000 on - Fuse 28 (3A)

 

98 - 2000 - Fuse 3 (5A)

 

95 - 98 Fuse 35 (20A), Fuse 16 (15A), Fuse 21 (10A)

 

Dont quote me on that, but its worth a check
