There was a heavy rain shower in London last night. The car was parked outside, locked with the ignition off.
The imobaliser alarm was going off from 3am (though I didn't hear this but neighbours did). When I checked the car at 8am the back half electrics were haywire despite the ignition off. Here is a list of problems.
1) The hood control has tried to run and broken the actuator and bracket on the left side. See photo. Fortunately I was able to free up bits and manually at least get the cover panel closed. I'll deal with this later as a separate post.
2) The tail lights were on.
3) The imobiliser alarm was going sporadically.
4) The rear spoiler was up or going up and down with a life of its own.
5) The rear boot had opened itself.
6) There was a whiring noise from the rear of the car.
I locked the car and disconnected the battery.
To say I'm pretty upset would be an understatement!
Let's leave the hood problem for another day/post. What is the circuit that is likely affected? Where is this, what is the part and how to do I get to it?
