jeebowhite Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 so the earth connections are both good? If so, then you need to track for a short circuit. The best place to look is the rubber conduit leading to the boot lid. The wires get fragile and can break easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 checking continuity across the live wires can help ID shorts too, as can isolating each side from the battery, just eliminate one thing at a time until you get the problem. youll need a multimeter though!
