Hi all,
I just came back from 5 days of travel and found my battery so dead that even the clock had stopped. I jump started the car, after which the window lift wouldn't work and the driver's side door lock wouldn't operate. "door open" was showing on the display.
After a while of driving, getting the battery back to full voltage, the lock and window sorted themselves. Today though, I noticed when pulling up to a light that one or several relays inside the drivers door were clicking away frantically and without any particular frequency. It seemed to affect them whether I was accellerating or slowing down, suggesting that there's an inertia switch somewhere or a very loose connection.
Do the cables tend to brake where they flex when the door is operated?

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Henrik
 
Check the battery capacity and voltage before you go chasing rainbows. Many odd faults on the P38 are battery related. Check also the underbonnet fuse box for signs or smells of burning.

The battery is practically brand new, 100Ah. After yesterday's drive of well over 60km, it now spins the starter with great ease, so the voltage should be ok.
