Hi,

Do you fix it? Mine has done the same thing today.

So I stripped down my fuse box and found that one of the relay solder points had cracked.
Resoldered and fitted and all working.

No problem, I also found this link, I think it was on this forum.

There seem to be a few fuse box failures of late. Maybe the cars are now getting to an age where electrical components that aren't really weather protected are becoming vulnerable.
At least it's sorted now.

It was the fuse box inside the car as well.

I've found that the metalwork around the fusebox on my car gets a lot of moisture on it. I'm sure it would be enought to pool and run into the fusebox (and all the other electrical bits there) to cause problems.

It may be prudent to apply some kind of formal coating to the exposed electrical contacts when the weather is warm and dry. This would then help prevent corrosion during those damp condensation prone weather periods.

I like using silicone-type dielectric grease.

Sweet! thanks for letting us know.
