Hey all,

TD Elite 98 first issue the Bose stereo wouldnt power up,

this was following the battery being off, as we have been fitting a new ABS ECU. The ecu was off an identical model, year, etc, so i dont see how this can be the cause of what was to follow...

Then, to test the whoe system we turned it over, and found the abs light had gone off-result!

Then airbag light came on for longer than usual, then went out, no probs. Shortly after the whole centre of the dash lights wouldnt come up..including the mfd.

Nowthe rev counter, fuel and temp (and presumably the speedo, though havent driven it)dont work, the climate control fan comes on/off/on/off soon as you close the door. Obviousbly this wasnt ideal, so we disconnect the battery, locked all doors manually and left it!

Last start the car barely managed to, binnacle lights dimming, classic low battery symptoms. AGain, the climate fans went on/off/on/off, so we whipped the battery off, that's now on charge.

Pretty much all of the loom connectors round the battery/relax box have been off in order to do the abs ecu, so these would seem to be a prime suspect, but everything seems ok, we've checked nopins have been snapped off/everything's plugged in. We are suspecting relays, or something mega serious!?!?!

Hope this hasnt been too long, but just bought the car off felow oofer today, after it ran like a dream for hours on end this is all very strange!

Thanks in advance. AAAAARGH!! :-?

Hi just to let you know the problems sorted it turned out to be something as simple as 2 fuses which were labeled in the book as something that didnt even relate to the centre console!!!!!
