    Default Vt issues; air con, power windows

    Hi,
    so it was raining the other night n I drove through some hugeee puddles n I think the water got my electrics cause everything is running rather strange now.
    With my air con I turn it on n kind of a hissing but not sound ones from the vent, haven't used the air con for ages since feb n it was fine then but now won't get cold n makes a weird sound.

    My drivers side window has been playing up ever since the puddle sometimes it'll go up n down normal or I'll push the button for it to go down but this clicking noise comes from kind of behind the headlight knob and the window won't go down. So I'm thinking it might be the motor in the window cause all the others work except mine is deciding when and when not to work. Any ideas??

    Also, when I have the fan on with the air con my indicators go weird n sometimes won't flash, this car is driving me insane I've had problem after problem!!

    Help would be greatly appreciated!

    off memory, its about $120-$180 to get regassed for general public rates. If you know somebody, then it will only set you back around $70 like it did for me in my VN wagon.

    Just a word of advise, even if the weather is cold, you should still turn on the aircon for a few minutes once in a month or so. Reason being, without being used, the seals dry up in the system, and next time its turned on, gas escapes and BOOF, you need a regas and new seals sometimes too
