    Angry can anyone help...?

    ok so ive figured out my whole wiring system in my calais is fu**ed ,all my interior lights come on when i put the brakes on, my parker lights at the rear of the car dont work, my horn stays on when i open the door and the list keeps going. does anyone kno if it would be cheaper to get a whole new wiring loom set up say out of a vs or something, or to just get all the electrics fixed as my back to windowes dont work either ?? also anyone kno anywhere that does this sort of thing in Adelaide ??? and how much it would cost roughly??? thanks in advanced

    Sounds Like bad earthing problems. Take it to an Auto electrition show them your problems and ask for a quote before you get them to fix it

    Buy a grego book mate and learn the wiring, itll be 100% cheaper then getting someone to do it, or pay a mate whos has the same sorta car, or u will spend more then u think!

    I rewired my vc, taken about a week, 4 hrs per night "no dodgy fast jobs with wiring" , only spent 50 dollars or less on the gear.

    the only thing i would pay for in my vl is rewiring on the computer.

    Its not easy to understand like a pro would know, but u will find ur own way of knowledge of whats going on.

    Even if u cant find the wire u after, look for another next to it, it mgight give u a tip on the wire ur after.
