I am half way through rewiring my pods. went for a wee spin round musselburgh. parked the car and went for a couple of beers. got home to find one pod up! Could be a mistake on the wiring easily enough, but this pod had never worked, i hadnt got round to looking at the side! Now i didnt expect that!

Marcus. It's has to be an earth.. I went out for a spin one day and I had the one up one down.. Kinda funny and embarrassing.. Mine was the shonky connectors at the back of the pods..

How's the thermistor.

I went over a bump in the road during the day last year and my O/S pod came up and i had to wiggle the wires to make it go down again..

When you pull the connectors apart check the internal sleeves are in place some tend to slip back in the connector. Giving an intermittent connection.

Lets see, I've said already about 20 times on this forum, ALWAYS CHECK THE EARTH RETURNS.
and also - check and clean all the wiring connectors.

Yes, I agree. It's a pain in the arse. But that's life....and it's worth it for the wedge experience...
