Various electricals.....

Postby SteveG48 » Sun Feb 01, 2009 8:44 pm

After a short period of ownership I can truly say I love mine to bits...

..even though I have been plagued with intermittent warning messages: -

The rear bulb failure warning light comes on every so often. But no failed bulb.

The coolant level low light comes on every so often.... But no low coolant.

The Engine Performance light comes on... slows me down a bit and then clears to let me enjoy the full experience right up to... ahem miles per hour, lets just say far too many mph far too easily.

The door locking mechanism switches in and out when remote locking folowed by a series of "chirps" to let me know she isn't ok to be left... Sometimes.

So this weekend I thought I'd get grimy and cold and rummage about checking the harness and as many connectors as I could get too. Check, take apart, reseat, WD40.

And despite finding nothing obvious took her out for a spin and a photoshoot (see the gallery uploads) and now no sign of a gremlin... until the next time I guess!

ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I love her though she torments me and causes me pain......

I'd sacrifice the price of a can or two of WD40 for the pleasure of owning an XK8, wouldn't anyone? Mike.
