According to the wiring diagram, that is the case.

If it was anything to do with the motors or an obstruction in the rails, surely the fuse would blow only when an adjustment switch is activated. The fact that it goes imediately a new fuse goes into its slot would indicate a short in the wiring somewhere? But I can't see anything untoward under the seats.

No, it's no. 5 fuse, dedicated to adjustment motors.

Thanks, that's helpful. I'll check these.

The fuse blows before any of the switches are operated. I'm not sure what you mean, 'behind the same fuse'.

Hi,
Fuses will blow immediately on being put into the socket. If I operate the adjustment switches, I can hear relays clicking, but something is shorting the power to the motors. This has come out of the blue, and I can't see any obvious cable damage under the seats. Anyone got any ideas how to trace the fault? It's all very complicated down there.

But two or maybe three - all of a sudden? But I'll look into it. Certainly it would be a good outcome. It's the knackers yard for the car if I can't sort this out. It has been under a death sentence for a few months now, on sorn but I just can't bring myself to do it. This has been the hardest car that I've ever had to scrap, I like it so much. Those leather seats oooooh.

Yes, everything is pushed home. But if anything was loose, why should it run OK initially? I don't really buy the HT leads breaking down as there is certainly at least two or three misfiring, and I can't see that happening all of a sudden when there was not a trace of misfiring before.

Thanks for that. Usefull to know for sure. Thought I might have been unaware of something.

I have done the paperclip test, with the engine running, and nothing relating to misfires has come up. Like I said nothing on the list seems to relate anyway. What code numbers would I be looking for?
The head gaskets were found to have eroded through in a couple of places. The bores were so full of water that they were hydrolocked I know people on this site say that it is extremely rare for head gaskets to go, but believe me, mine had.

After a headgasket replacement, car starts and runs OK for a few minutes then starts to misfire. It seems to get progressively worse, until it will barely move off in 1st. There is nothing coming up on the dash about a misfire, but reading through the whole list of possible faults there appears not to be anything relating to misfires anyway. Any suggestions? I can induce a misfire by moving the ignition cables on the righthand side, which stops when I release them. I looked for leaking HT in the dark but couldn't see anything.

Yes that should help, thanks. My other concern was that the engine ECU would be thinking that the engine is perpetually cold, which you have also cleared up.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Where has the cable to temp. sender gone?
« on: 19 January 2012, 12:27:23 »
Hi,
I am assuming the sensor which has a little brass button on the top on the coolant bridge is the temp. sender, (V6) although my haynes manual identifies the sensor which comes out towards the back with a multi plug attached as the temp. sender. After a head gasket job, I can't get a temperature reading. The thing is I looked high and low for a single cable to fit the the sender that sticks up vertically but couldn't see it. Any reasons why it is difficult to find anyone?
