climate control problem.

Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

climate control problem.

Post by totaleclipse »

ok, when i bought the car it had a wire in the fusebox bridging 2 of the fuses together, which turned the climate control off when removed.

came out to the car the other day to no heating, no wipers and no demister.

found blown fuse, one of the ones with the bridge wire.

replaced the fuse and got wipers and demister back, but everytime i but the bridge wire in for the climate control theres a big spark and the fuse pops.

cars a D8 executive, any ideas?

Someone has deliberately shorted out something to fix something :shock:

No ideas. I'd take it to an Auto Electrician to sort out, personally, as I wouldn't want my car to go on fire/explode/kill me, but I am not very handy when it comes to repairing these kinds of things.

Hopefully someone here will be able to lend a hand.
