Title: Whats going on? / Electrics?
Post by: hoj on 10 January 2009, 17:42:10

Think i have mentioned in a couple of previous posts the gremlins in my leccy system.
Now its getting a bit worse and baffling IS it the weather?

1, Sunroof will open (1st tilt position) either when stationary or when moving.
2, Trafficmaster will come on "sometimes" when turning ignition on i am NOT subscribed to this so it either goes through the licence expired speak or it just says manual mode.
3, Sometimes when turning ignition on the alarm goes off.
4, One or more doors will not unlock by remote at 1st go try again and its fine
5, Sometimes when switching ignition on the radio will come on and sometimes the CD player other times the radio is just on U with no actual station selected.
6, More of a concern ALL the doors have been open on a few mornings after locking them as normal at night on occasion the boot kid is unlocked.

Before you ask i am NOT catching or pressing any switches and i am NOT catching or pressing the remote by accident or anything

What's the condition and age of your battery? Try checking the terminal voltage when the car is cold and shut down. If low, try a battery charger for a few hours.

Batteries don't like low temperatures, especially if partly discharged.

Are the connections to the battery tight and free from corrosion?
