mk4 golf elecy in need of help or I'm gonna burn it!!
« on: 20 July 2012, 07:06 »
Right I have constantly got this problem with my electrics, it flashs up abs fault brake fault alternator workshop and the electrics shut off for a split second. I have tried all the things people say like the fuses and all that. Its had new alternator battery belt and tensionr. It did have a ground fault that got fixed.

It has been fine for a few months but this morning it done it . I need a specialist to look at it in kent. I would go vw but it will cost an arm and a leg

I have tested the battery and its all good

Fuse box above battery has been cleaned more than once and fuses replaced

In need of help !! Also when its doing this the windows draw some much power it can dip the lights when they are used.. This can sometimes bring this fault on too

It has been a little bit chilly this morning which makes me think the battery is bit bad but I am really stuck

(I have tried all the usual tricks and tips )

Also the alarm goes off the doors won't lock or one locks the other don't, the dashboard goes made and or won't even come on if the keys turned. There's something under the dash clicking like mad. My clocks go all over the show

I need help asap or I'm actually gonna burn it

My lights dim when using the windows so dont worry about that, clicking from inside the dash will be a relay, possibly got water or condensation in it, have you noticed any small leaks of water?
Check the bonnet cable grommet and the pollen filter both common places for leaks.
