bleeding snow!! PROBLEM

i need help i have had an electrial problem 3 times now due to snow., here go's my car was fine driving in yesterdays blizzard then i got about 10 miles from home and the batt light was on very dull though the volt was over 12. then it was bright and everytime i reved it went duller, anyways i got home and left the car for a few hours and went to start put the ignition, on and my IMOBOLISER light wouldnt light up so if thats not lit it wont click off, resulting in the car not starting, it bumpstarts for some weird reason. i could understand if the batt was dead but its not i carged it and te volt is 12 on the vdo. ANY IDEAS,????

sounds like your alternator is on the way out.

would that cause the problem with the imoboliser?

i'd have thought the imobiliser would drop out when the battery runs down.
depends which way it fails. safe or active

"drop out"??

stop working.
sorry i do try and type for people to understand but sometimes a bit of slang slips in.

Sounds like damp to me,

Also if you have bleeding snow. I suspect that someone is playing a prank on you

lol, yeah halloween snow, sorted now the main block on the imoboliser was holding about a shot of water, so i took it off
maybe one day it may dry and work again lol

WD40 it (or equivalent)

The Oil repels the water so it should stop it shorting out, also try to find out why it was filled with water or you'll get the same trouble, don't just leave it

i'm guessing the immobilser is in next to the heater fan.
yep water will do that :wink: take it off and fit a new one.

cheers peeps yeah it was under the heater fan there when i brought it im guessing never seen the box before only the other one.
