check the relays. Sounds like you have moved some by accident.

Mine do the same, the heater relay also works the radiator fan as well :eek: so you will need to get it fixed as soon as possible

Classic FRST Problem, my old one did it, this one does it, yours does it..


When you look at your relays it the far left middle relay, the green one..

It gets too hot and melts the fusebox and needs wiggling or removing and cleaning..

I have to clean and check mine every few days now..

My old one, had the relay removed and relocated to the side of the fusebox and held on with clips.. Then the wires rewired and redirected, this never failed..

Where as when you look at my latest one, it melts the plastic breaking the contact and turns the FRONT FOGS,Engine FAN and Internal FAN off... NOT GOOD, overheat time...

Hope this helps mate.. :wink:

Fcuk mine!!
You've just noted every thing thats wrong with my chariot!! (hence all the messages on the board!!) at the moment the fogs don't turn on, the blowers have stopped and the engine fan doesn't turn on either!!! and yesterday I found out that one of my front lights is dimmer than the other(could this be related too?).
Where can I find the relays and what do I need to do to fix the problem M8??

:sad:

Open the fusebox face in the dash by your right foot, 2 screws... undo these, the fusebox falls out easier and as you look its the relay (green) in the middle far left... wiggle it take it out, clean it, clean the contacts, place back in wiggle, whallla, it works....

The light dimmer than the other wont be related mate sorry, probably a different wattage bulb in each... :wink: or it is blown slightly on one of the fillaments and needs replacing
