Hi, Replaced the battery on my VF ss, as soon as I connect the battery lead the horn, wipers, highbeams, hazards start going. I tried locking and unlocking with key but that does nothing, car will start but everything keeps going. Any idea's?

the bcm might have been damaged during the replacement, it wouldnt be the first time it has happened.
if it keep happening every time you connect it then you will probably need someone with a scan tool to diagnose the issue.

Have a can tool that I used, saying that there are no faults. Don't know if my scan tool is as good as dealers though.

you need one that can perform diagnostics on the modules, if you have an error code reader tool that probably wont help much.
