Geez, maybe I really DO need to change my logon ID:
I went for a drive to Northam, York and Beverley today (300km or so) and, on the way back in heavy rain, I suddenly noticed a few strange things happening. Both indicator lights were on and when I turned high beam on, they flicked on and off. A whole bunch of warning lights came on, the car didn't miss a beat, but as they they went out, the ABS and TC warning lights stayed on.
Not being game to stop the car, I checked that my braking still worked, turned off all excess electrics (stereo etc) and drove the 80km or so home. Indicators and everythign seemed to work okay, except when changing to high beam. ABS and TC lights stayed on.
I got home, pulled into the carport and turned on high beam, all 4 indicators came on. So, I turned off the engine and waited a while. Now, when I lock or unlock the car, the front park lights and rear indicators flash instead of all 4 indicators.
When you push the hazard button, rear indicators flash and front park lights (not front indicators).
When I start the engine, all indicators except for the seatbelt light go out for a short time and all looks normal, then both indicators, the high beam symbol, ABS and TC come on. Park lights are on and all 4 indicators. Parkers flash when
I've checked the fuse box under the bonnet and there is no indication of water. Any other suggestions?
I guess it's getting towed to the dealer on Tuesday. Not happy, Jan.
