Feeling Pretty good about fixing my electrical fault.
« on: August 18, 2008, 05:59:44 PM »

Been away up in the Lakes for a week and had an intermittent electrical fault that I tracked back to the ASD circuit.  I was going to change the relay, but on moving the fuse box the circuit powered up.  So out comes the fuse box and I noticed one of the wires had been kinked and pinched against the box during assembly.

A quick scrape removing the insulation with a scapel showed the wire was snapped inside making the intermittent fault.  5 minutes and 1 crimp later all is well with the Snorkel mobile.  How much would a stealership have charged for that, assuming they had correctly tracked it down...

So, feeling smug and going to treat myself to a few whiskeys this evening  8-)  8-)  8-)

I reckon after a few weeks replacing bits pointlessly they would have given up !  but still charged you a few hundred squids!

be glad you found it that quick, just wait until you get the one that takes all weekend to trace, as you work your way round the jeep cleaning earthing points and connections. breaks in the wire are a nightmare to locate consider yourself very lucky
