Morning!
I just bought a 2002 1.4 Desire (my previous one was written off when someone drove into me on a roundabout - brokenhearted but moving on...).
It has electrical issues. I can't figure out if they're related - was hoping someone knowledgeable would recognise what's going on. It also needs a new lambda and possibly cat, and has a fuel leak. And needed a new tyre. I sent him indoors to pick it up and won't be doing that again
So:
- rear demister doesn't work. It's not the fuse (I've checked F1 and F5) and the relay clicks when I push the button. I've checked the connections to the screen and there's some black shit clumsily pasted all over them - dunno what it is but suggests bad DIY job.
- heater blower works but is really weak.
- the alert that goes off when you leave the lights on and open the door doesn't work. It gave a faint meep yesterday but now nothing. It is silent on both driver's and passenger's side.
We've got an OBD II scanner but I can't get a reading (couldn't in old car either but can in my husband's car so dunno what that's all about
)
Thanks for reading
