Just had a near faultless 900 mile round trip to Le Mans. The Cerb was epic! Got so much attention it was great.

However the electrical gremlins reared their heads about 100 miles from Calais on the way back. First I noticed that the passenger window would not go up fully, it stopped a couple of inches from the top (the door open gap). Then we noticed neither of the door releases inside or out we're working and the boot release had stopped.

A couple of hours later on the tunnel everything was working again. Stopped to drop my wingman off 15 mins from the tunnel, all stopped working again. Get home 90 mins later, everything working as it should. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Maybe a coincidence but on getting back to the uk the Battery warning light kept coming on for a couple of minutes and then going off again. It's a new battery.

Sounds like a combination of the big fuse causing the battery light and dodgy connectors inside the door or to the control box.

Ok. I've got a spare big fuse so that would be good place to start. I know where it is on the speed six but no idea on the ajp. Where will I find it?

At the back of the 'V' behind the coil packs below the windscreen.

I had the same happen with my passanger window and the door release. The reed switch at the bottom of the passanger door had come slack and had backed into the door and wasn't picking up the magnet. 30 second fix. Hope that sorts you out.

Had simular issues on mine, turned out to be a doggy earth connection.
