Starting issue
Posted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 2:28 pm
Hello Everyone,
I've got an 04 Blingo that initially had a few problems with the ECU, thanks to Evan that has all been sorted out.
Unfortunately it appears I have another problem. On the weekend I was driving at night and hit a deep puddle, I noticed the next day that the electrical fault light was on so I checked on the BVS forum and saw some mention of moisture problems triggering a fault, so guessed this might be the problem. The vehicle was still working but I decided not to drive it for fear of doing any damage. Yesterday I turned on the motor and the fault light had gone off so I thought things must have dried out with the sunny weather and did a short run with no problems. I charged up last night and this morning the fault light was back and the vehicle wouldn't go, when I turned the key there was the usual click sound followed by a second click like when the vehicle is turned off. I then went out and pulled the fuses underneath and there was a bit of moisture in the side pair, so cleaned them off and disconnected the 12v to reset things. After this the fault is off again now and van working fine. I am now a little worried to drive without knowing what the problem might be. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers!
