I’m trying to fix a friends megane before he has to scrap it. Its a
shame because its pretty clean car.
Whats happening is that the WIPER relay,
the HAZARD LIGHT / INDICATORS relay,
the CENTRAL LOCKING relay,
a FUEL INJECTION relay
and the DRIVERS ELECTRIC WINDOW relay,
all decide to stop working intermittently. The car won’t start if the
problem is present, but if the car is already running when the
problem
shows up, it will keep running okay, (although as stated none of the
relay related functions can be carried out).
Not only that, the relays will remain in ther present condition when
the fault shows up. In other words, if the wipers are on or the
indicators ar on, when the fault appears, even switching these
devices
off doesn’t affect them. They will keep wiping and flashing no matter
what I do with the control switches.
The problem is that the fault is now present about 99% of the time.
This means that I can’t even get it started most of the time. I end
up
switching the hazard lights on, (although they obviously won’t
actually flash while the fault is present), I then go and sit in the
house, looking out the window.
Once I see the hazards starting to flash, I know I can quickly run
out
and get the car started. If I’m not quick, I miss the opportunity and
have to wait maybe another 2 or 3 hours. I’m tempted to fit a new
Body
Control Unit and an Injector Module, but would like to be convinced
that that will sort it out.
Any advice? Thanks
