The P38A survived the 400km trip without any problems in the cooling system, so it decided to throw me another punch:
Last night, after parking I hear a ticking sound, like a relay, coming from under the drivers seat (LHD). I know that the EAS relay is there, so I moved the car's height and the ticking stopped. OK, no problem I thought. :doh:
Driving back home, after flashing the highlights, the speed and rev meter dropped to zero. I returned to main beams and the meters came back. After a short while the rev meter dropped to zero, followed by the speedometer.
Followed by SRS light coming on, followed by ABS light. HEVAC lightning stopped working. Drove it for a few kilometers and, I was pulling into the driveway, there was a crunching sound from the gearbox (transfer box trying to go into low, i think) and all the lights dropped except for fog lights.
Stopped, turned of the car and it never started ever since. What a nightmare, 400km away from home base
I'm currently charging the battery with a wall adapter. I've removed the fuse box from the engine compartment, because it had some coolant marks on the lid, but inside it is clean and looks very good. All connectors look good too.
The area where I'm now is very damp so I'm guessing some moisture got into something.. BECM or RH seat fuse box? Ground connections maybe ?
Help?
