Ain't that the truth? :) That's the way I look at it. I'd rather spend several hours of my time trying to isolate the fault than pay my mechanic to do it. Very frustrating, but it saved me a few quid, so worth the cursing that accompanied it...

I feel a bit dirty and fickle, but that's life. :)

Just a quickie. Over a week since the towbar electrics were removed and no blown fuses or non-stop indicators. I love my car again now. :)

No worries mate, I wouldn't have been able to do anything until I got it to my mechanic anyway. The fact that I was able to point him in the right direction was good enough. Hopefully. :) And cheers again for your support.

Brief update. I managed to get the car started over the weekend after recharging the battery, and had a bit of a poke around while the car was running, all indicators still flashing. Lifted the loom running along the boot liner and the lights stopped flashing. Took it in this morning to my...

Nowt to lose at this stage. :) Jav look out, here I come.

You know what they say about a little knowledge... I'll keep you updated. :(

Oh, Jesus, remind me never to do anything electrical ever again. Went to start car this morning and doors wouldn't open as I have a flat battery. The lights that flash when the tailgate opens have been flashing all night and still were so I've disconnected the battery. Does anybody have...

Will do, mate.

Dare I say I may have inadvertently found a solution, although I'm not sure what it is. I've gone through about five fuses this evening, having pulled bits of trim off to see any obviously pinched wires in the areas I'd fiddled around in while trying to find somewhere to splice into for the...

Definitely give it a go tomorrow and let you know. Glad I bought a box of fuses, I've gone through about 8 so far. :)

That would be great, but it's on a different fuse, so is that possible? It's brilliant being clueless. :(

Couldn't find anything wrong with the plug, but not really sure what I was looking for really so will stick yet another fuse in tomorrow and give it a wiggle. I decided to busy myself trying to get my HFT to work, but no luck with that either. On the positive side I got my lighter working as...

It's given me confidence to do a few bits and bobs for myself, only what would be considered easy stuff, but things which would have in the past had me running straight to the garage, which in the current climate is very handy.

You and me both. You know, before I signed up on here I wouldn't have even known to look at the fuses, never mind the wiring. :D
