Hi all, extremely new here!
I'm the (proud) second owner of a damn immaculate 2005 VZ SSZ, having a couple of issues at the moment and hadn't seen any related post's upon a search.
1. The headlight switch; when the headlights are turned on, (with no key inserted into the ignition) it is making the car think that you've inserted and turned the key to the "On" position, as in the fuel pump activates, A/C turns on. And because of this, the fuel gauge alarm also goes off because that particular gauge doesn't move, making the car think it has no fuel etc. Related to this, the Dashlight dimmer switch doesnt work
If it helps to diagnose, it has a tow ball and related tow wiring installed and an aftermarket headunit
2. The fuel gauge seems very erratic and/or inaccurate, overnight, my distance to empty went from 200km to empty all the way down to 10-30km to empty. I know the fuel pump was replaced recently before I bought it + was tuned in order to run a Mafless and exhuast setup, but this was described more so as "tidy up" tune...
Any help would be much appreciated guys, thank you all.
