Ok, well , a few mates decided they'd pull apart my dash to install my CD player, and they did it, but one thing, my light on the air conditioner doesn't work... Now this is a Calais (VL of course) and all the electrics on the right side (Mirrors, cruise) don't work either...
I've checked fuses they seem find, anyone have any ideas, I'm too cheap to pay an auto elec to do it, as he could most probably gib me!
Also, How the hell do you get out that light globe on the gear stick thing? Its a little *******!
Rolk you are an idiot i told you to goto an auto elec and get it all done and get the bad earth in your car done also doh.... i told you that from the start....
lol no it didnt all work rolky you didnt have a constent power for your cd player remember??
make sure you checked every single fuse under the bonnet as to what Petros has said...
Hmmm enough bitching, it doesnt solve anything.
Some obvious points, make sure that everything is plugged in well.
Ive got a bad earth wtith the cig lighter for some reason, everytime i plug something in or turn it on, i blow the fuse. Not good because the heater fan runs of the same fuse, but i dont touch it and its perfectly fine!
Check to see if you have a bad earth somewehre. buy a ****smith multimeter for 20 bucks, and start poking around to find voltages. if al the connectors are dead, then you definately got a bad earth. aslo take as much as your dash out in the affected areas, plug in the switches and see if you can find where the problem is.
do you have any dash lights at all? as for the mirrors and cruise, ide be checking the loom for those items.
Since you cant 'see' or 'hear' electricity, you got to play around and stab in the dark till you come to a result or answere.
Get a multimeter otherwise your wasting your time, unless its a simple plug that hasnt been connected properly.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
darkstar: i know rolk and i have told him when he first got the car to take it to the auto elec to get it checked out as 1 of his brake lights when braking would go off and had abit of a bad earth and plus the wiring was not the best someone had put masking tape on it to try and keep it together.... but if his not going to listen to me i dont know what else i can do for him i told him afew pointers when he got the car but yeah.. well he was going to buy a ford....
