    Accessories turning on by itself after turning car off

    It just sort of.. disappeared lol It hasn't happened since I last posted about it. Maybe try pulling the relay and fuse for a while? Purely because that's the only thing I touched Sorry I can't help, but it's nice to know someone else has the problem and I'm not crazy haha

    Accessories turning on by itself after turning car off

    Not what I want to hear :( Would plugging in to the diagnostics show up with anything like that?

    Accessories turning on by itself after turning car off

    Whoops I missed these replies lol Nothing non genuine in the car, as far as I know the whole thing is bog stock. It got weirder after I last posted a couple of weeks ago. The night after I changed that relay it drained the battery and I had to jump start it the next day.. to be expected I...

    Accessories turning on by itself after turning car off

    You're thinking it's something to do with the antenna? Only thing is it's not just the antenna, it's sending power to all accessories.. Which antenna connector? One behind the head unit or at the antenna? Went outside and it did it again today, decided to have a look at the fuse box. The...

    Accessories turning on by itself after turning car off

    Have a bit of weird one with my SV6, couldn't find anything with a search. After I turn the car off, sometimes before I can even shut the door, sometimes as I'm walking away after locking the car, sometimes 10 minutes later - The accessories will turn back on. The aerial will come back up...

    Cruise control not turning on

    I'm fairly confident that it's the stalk, but haven't looked into it yet. It works every now and then (sometimes first time, sometimes I have to press it a few times) - so yea I'm thinking it's the buttons Btw, if the brake lights are fine, then the brake pedal switch is working :)

    5spd Auto - Oil and Filter

    Was pretty easy, especially having access to a workshop Filler/drain plugs are torx bits, but the drain plug is useless - will never get all of the fluid out without dropping the sump, which needs to come out for the filter anyway. Is just 20 10mm bolts for the sump and it drops straight off...

    5spd Auto - Oil and Filter

    Thanks mate, I'm guessing the brown oil was just flogged out auto oil - in which case I certainly wont be waiting another 150,000kms to change it again. I can't believe how much smoother and tighter the auto is now Just put Dex 3 in it, but will have a look at the 6 later on down the track...

    5spd Auto - Oil and Filter

    Just at work doing the 150,000km service on my 5spd auto SV6. Pulled the sump off the auto and am a little confused. First off, is the oil for the 5 spd auto just Dextron III? From what I've read/been told it is, but the oil I've drained out of the box is dark brown, and very thin. In fact I...

    Cruise control not turning on

    Yep brake lights are all fine. I had another go yesterday and somehow managed to get it to turn on, but then wouldn't activate, and then the button wouldn't work to turn it off again. So I'm fairly confident there's something wrong with the stalk

    Cruise control not turning on

    Yea got it from a dealership, have the standard 3 month warrany, he just wasn't keen on fixing small things so I can see having to fight it. How hard it it to pull apart the stalk and have a look at the button, or give it to a sparky? I did check the fuse (although not before I posted this...

    Cruise control not turning on

    Cruise control not turning on

    Yep, tried it at 50, 60, 80 etc and still wont even turn on My parents picked up an SVZ at the same time and I've tried the same method in both cars, the SVZ works fine but doing the same thing in mine just doesn't work

    Cruise control not turning on

    Hi guys, long time lurker, picked up a VZ SV6 (auto) a couple of days ago and have some problems with the cruise control. When pressing the on/off button, nothing happens. Nothing comes up on the dash, fiddling with the set and reset switches does nothing either. Have tried it multiple times...
