Help! Mother in Law problem.....
Got Phone Call that the car was dead, the battery was flat and it wouldn't start.
Went to investigate, used my JumpStarter but noticed it had a bit of a problem.
This is where I need help.
I noticed the following symptoms on attempting to start it.
The grey box (function unknown until I get the workshop manual) that is fixed to the bulkhead is 'chattering' twice a second or so. It sounds like relays going in and out.
Other dashboard lights that flicker in unison with the grey box are
Hazard Light
Seatbelt warning
Oil Light
Handbrake on
Bulb gone Indicator
Sidelights flicker also.
No Heater Coil lights illuminate and when you try to start the engine all the lights stop flashing but dim and the engine does nothing.
Also if the ignition key is removed the hazard lights work fine, headlights work fine also.
So I guess that something in the igntion system has drained the battery flat and is now causing the above. Any Ideas? I need to get the mother in law mobile again fast!!!!!!!!
