It just stared last night, but everything else is in working order. This happen to anyone before? Any quick fixes? thanks, Glen   Joey Stompedissel (Huskyboy) New Member Username: Huskyboy Post Number: 14 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Sunday, January 04, 2004 - 02:53 pm:    Sounds like an earth problem....check both earth behind fascia panel in footwell and beneath cover in loadingbay area over fueltank   Glen Hernandez (Polofella26) Member Username: Polofella26 Post Number: 82 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 04, 2004 - 03:03 pm:    hmmm..I will into those areas, however, i am not to familiar of what "earth" looks like.

In the footwell look for a plastic connector block with a few black wires attached, and the other side mounted on a bolt attached to the body.   Glen Hernandez (Polofella26) Member Username: Polofella26 Post Number: 83 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 04, 2004 - 03:44 pm:    ok.....great....thanks for the advise.
