Last week my Passenger door functions stopped working on my 2001 Convertable. No Mirror central locking or window all stopped working.... then the next day they did, and know not again....

Today the dash came up with all sorts of warnings, reduced engine power (Even though it drove fine), service traction ect etc, the gauges all went to bits some FSD some Low, but the tacho and speedo worked ok as did the Crusie and engine functions are fine. Stereo truned off and would not come back on.....

Turned off car and restarted and was fine for 5 minutes then same again...

Can someone point me in right direction.... Is it the BCM ?? as since I bought the Car the Boot release has never worked and that is the BCM at fault there I proved that last year.....

Please someone tell there's a quick fix..... Finger crossed

I had the same issue with my 01 it turned out being the wiring harness in the door. With mine I could open the door and pull and move the accordion boot covering the wire and fix or create the issue.
hope this helps.

 

most crazy electrical problems such as what you described, are caused by a bad ground

 

Thanks Lads for your replies.... Time to get the Spanners out.... and chase those earths....

 

Have had the same problem on my 2000 coupe. You didnt happen to wash the car recently did you?

Turns out that when I washed my car(more specifically the wheels) I was getting some moisture into the ABS sensors or something and would cause the christmas tree effect you described above.

Would go away after a day or so, but then if I was not careful washing the car it would happen again.
