Hi all,
Please does anybody have any idea about this one?
54 plate Punto 1.2 8v 3dr (without ABS), last Punto B4 the Grande came in.
All electrics fine when ignition in MAR including the reverse light working! But when engine started and car placed in reverse gear I lose reversing light, heaters/fans, windscreen wipers front & rear and rear heated windscreen (even though the indicator still lights in the dash). Have checked fuses/bulbs etc.
Place the car into any forward gear (and sometimes apply/release the handbrake too) and the car sorts itself out, sometimes straight away and sometimes it can take up to 10 minutes to get my wipers and heaters etc back again.
I've noticed a clicking sound (like a small relay) coming from behind the steering column that seems to be linked to the problem.
Earthing fault? Any ideas?
Thanks for reading this.
