Bloody Electronics and wet weather
Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2022 12:55 pm
Is there anyone in the western Sydney area west of Parramatta to say Bathurst who is competent with electronics and is able to sort some bugs out ?
Since La Nina arrived and as my Wildtrak is parked out in the open all sorts of weird things have been going on, for example :-
* The pulse rate of my indicators will start normal, increase to almost double then drop back to normal.
* When I go into reverse I have a trailer that isn't connected, go into Neutral and back into reverse and it disappears for a few seconds and re-appears - even though "Trailer Assist" is turned off.
* On several occasions the door chimes have sounded - even though they have been turned off .
* The side mirrors used to fold out as soon as the doors were remotely opened, now they only fold out once the ignition is turned on.
* On occasion the lights wont come on automatically and even when turned on manually they take some seconds to energizer.
* The fog lights are the same, some times tapping the switch works other times they stay off - then come on seconds later.
For the most part I'd say its down to moisture in the various connections and with some hot dry weather it could self-resolve but as La Nina is reported going to be with us on the eastern seaboard until possibly November 2022 I'd really like it sorted before we set off to WA and I'd happily pay someone to fix the issues,
