Posts: 1,228 Thanks: 48 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Dodgy electrics - lights & horn Hi guys, Long time no post! (Stand fast my post about having a 500 as a courtesy car). Friend of mine is having some issues with her 06 GP. Her high-beams stay on and also trigger with the horn. RAC and a local garage (it's been there years, but I never used it). Apparently, she's been told that she needs a new fuse box, lock and squib. Now, I can't help but think that they're taking a stab in the dark here. There's no evidence of water in the fuse box. I wondered whether it's an issue with the steering wheel loom? I'd go and have a look - but she's in Grimsby and I'm in Scunthorpe. I am likely over that way at the weekend - so I might pop in and have a look myself. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, that'd be grand! (Grande? No? I'll get my coat). I'm not overly familiar with the GP - I used to have a Mk2. Thanks guys

Posts: 2,701 Thanks: 372 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Dodgy electrics - lights & horn Remove it (disconnect battery first), hair dryer or air gun it (carefull not to melt anything), put it in a bag with dry rice for the night (rice will dry it further) and re-install. That treatment should cure the moisture problem... BRs, Bernie If someone here helped You fix -or better, understand- your issue, hit the thanks icon @ bottom right corner, it's free and makes us feel helpy ;-)
