Strange Problems, nothing works...

Hi Guys,

hi had a strange problem today.

all things are ok, 5 minutes later my fuel pump stops to run and everything stops running well.

when i turn on the lights the fuel pump make a strange noise.
when i turn on the horn the some thing.
the turn lights doesn´t work either.

is this a problem with the fuel pump???

help me please  

check the relay  in the fuse box,  info on which relay is which is in the sticky!!

a mate of mine had this in a mk3. was dead for an age then it worked, then it didn't, then it did etc. til i put a dif relay in and robert is your mothers brother!!!!

sorry, pc played up and re-posted…

Sounds like the earth strap from the battery perhaps?

If it still plays up try cleaning the contacts of the plugs and sockets in the rear of the relay/fuse panel above the passenger footwell. I had a problem where the horn wouldn't work if the lights were on and the rear lights sometimes went with the dash lights, also the car cut out occasionally but would re-start immediately. I cleaned all of the pins and sockets and its been fine now for 3 years.

hi,

my question is if the fuel pump is damaged it could send the positive in all system and explains why nothing work, is that possible??

na , it would blow the fuse

have you tried the earth from battery to the body , you could quickly test this by using a heavy duty jump lead between the neg on the battery & the body work & then try maybe try a lead  onto the engine from the neg of the battery

Make sure the battery is fully charged too, if your earth is faulty it'll impact on the battery charging.

Problem resolved   a bad earth caused the problem……in the way i changed the ignition switch, just in case.

cheers….
