Lost power - Stereo, hazards, doors...

[meeko]

Went to get into my Chim after work and noticed that pressing the door open button didn't activate the solenoids. Broke into car and noticed that the stereo and hazards are dead and the green light on the centre door opener is on. Any ideas? Am about to check cicuit diagrams in bible. Hopefully it's just a fuse...

Check battery - most problems this time of year are caused by a duff battery failing to hold charge.

Meeko sounds like we have the same issue, my doors and horn don't work and my windows are very very slow. Keep me posted if you come to a solution and i'll do the same.

I've checked my fuses and they seem to be ok. I spoke to Carl "Mr TVR" Baker and he pointed me in the direction of the alarm relay that activates the locks. I'll check this over later and post findings. Not sure if my horn works but will try and let you know. My windows are also slow, but always have been and don't think they're connected to the doors/horn/hazards/stereo etc.

I think my battery is ok as the engine turns over very quickly and no signs of dimming headlights when the ignition is off etc.

Fingers crossed I'll sort it tonight as I'm fed up of breaking in!

OK I found the blown fuse and when replaced the driver's door wont open. It turns out that the switch on the driver's wing mirror stuck on and burned out the dooor open actuator. Not too hard to fix

You guys should pop over to the Griff forum for slow windows, maybe you have already.
