Hoping for some guidance here....

Having spurious issues with the binnicle. Driving along no issue with the car, all of a sudden I might get SRS indicating, then disappear, the The roof opening indicator come on and then disappear, occasionally the dials go full to the right and the display will go red.... and then everything goes back to normal within a couple of seconds.

The only issue with the car is the air con isn’t charged, seal gone.

Car has 60K kilometers on it.

Runs perfect apart from this issue..

Someone did mention to me this seems like a can bus junction box under the drivers steering wheel which is a common failure....there have been historical can small f errors when using star system but no F errors.

Suggestions appreciated.

Cheers..

Think I found the problem.... blocked air filter box... full of water.... pulled passenger side carpet .... swimming pool underneath....

Fun job ahead for the weekend....good insight from the forum though....no condensation in the car...quite amazing given the amount of water I found...
