Early last week I was working on a leak in my bulkhead as in a previous post. I had the cover of the front SAM off for access. I popped inside and we had a tremendous cloudburst. I rushed out & covered up the SAM which had a good soaking. I dried it thoroughly with an old towel. Went for a drive, hoping that the engine heat would finish the job. Side mirrors went in by themselves & wouldn't come out. Parked up and got to work with hair dryer. Mirrors started working again. All good. At dusk all lights came on. Couldn't get them off no matter what I did. Disconnected battery & had another good go with the hairdryer. Next morning reconnected & everything working. Some random error messages (over the next few days got an enormous range of different ones). All day car performed fine. Next morning I woke to the fan racing. turned on & off, no joy, short drive, stopped, fan off. Left car, fan back on.engine on, revved, turned off, fan off. Car running fine, still lots of random messages. Horn going off when ignition turned on. At dusk all lights came on again. Engine off & on, lights behaving.
Next day all well except EPS light on. turned system on & off twice, engine off & on, message disappeared. All well ? Now over a week and all well. Didn't post before because.........
Did consider having a go with contact cleaner, but now think I should leave well alone.
