Thnx any info would help
As for the switch for the electric windows. PM jet-6 on calaisturbo.com.au
As for the fuel gauge. I'm guessing a loose wire or a faulty unit.
Wipers.. Stuffs me haha, what happens if you unplug that switch?
Key hole is for the factory calais alarm I believe.
ive unplugged the wipers switch and put it back on and still dose it....it confuses me aswell :S
When its off and you start the car it does it?
yes...not 100% of the time like 90% of the time :b:Originally Posted by bextor84
the switches for the electric windows are really cheaply and baldy made unfortunately, i had to pull mine apart twice now becuase they just stop working or simply jam up. the top bit of the switch when you pull the unit out the console can be taken off, not the bit round the edge tho but the bit inside that immediately surrounds the switch. thist has to be kinda pryed out so be careful. then when the switches are exposed they should just come rite out exposing two little bits of copper that pivot and connect in each switch. when i pulled mine out the bits of copper had fallen out of thier stations which was causing the prob, but when i reassembled the switch they jammed up again because the top bit i took off was not holding the switches in place well enough so i had to put a few screws in to make sure it stays down
Im having exactly the same problem with the window wipers, coming on 90% of the time when i start the car
