Hi All,
I'm new to the forum so firstly I'd like to say hello! I purchased a 2..6 - 2.5 Si on Friday and I'm already having an issue with the electrics.
The car has run fine over the weekend and has not had an issue. Today was the first day that I unlocked the roof using the fob and the problems began. As soon as I went over 5 miles on the drive to work I noticed the airbag warning light came on! I then continued to drive and noticed that NONE of my dashboard electrics were functioning (lights wouldn't switch on, indicators wouldn't flash from the inside but worked from the outside). The main electrical components (power steering, windows, radio, aircon ect) are all working fine.
The airbag fault light went off and all the electrics started working again. Then it was intermittently coming on and off and the symptoms above came back and then went away again when the light went off.
I took the car out on my lunch and drove it a good 10 miles and everything working fine. Went to park up and the light came back on again!!
I bought the car from a dealer and it came with a warranty that "covers all electrical including parts and labor "so naturally I gave them a call. I was disappointed to find in the small print that they do NOT cover airbags, airbag system, wiring or wiring looms, this begs the question, what electrics do they cover?!
Anyway, if anyone could help me before I go back to the dealer I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Sam
