Hello all , has any one got any ideas what might have caused the following please.
A month ago I replaced the offside indicator lights in the wing mirror , all ok until last week , history of events as follows:-
The recently replaced indicator lamps failed, at the same time sometimes when the drivers window is operated there is an intermittent fault beep ,but no message on mfd.
Then the next day the mfd warned esp fault visit work shop
The next day the mfd warned esp not available
To day esp warnings have disappeared but on inserting key to the first position a single beep is heard and on switching the engine off again a single beep
Incidentally the low washer level is on but the reservoir is full .
Previous history , one week old it was returned to dealer with the bonnet open warning , apparently it was a boot switch!
The ac hasn't worked for years and this year the heater won't blow cold only hot , quite possibly the nicest car I gave ever owned but very electrically rubbish
It has aways eaten rear offside break and indicator lamps , can't remember changing any others
All though I'm an electrician and ex flight engineer on hovercraft , auto electrics leave me frustrated, my gut feeling is a common fault, my worst nightmare is some expensive computer is failing
The car is a January 2003 registered c220 Cdi so I guess that makes it a 2000 - 2002 wiring harness possibility ?
I would appreciate any advice before shelling out cash
Regards edward
