its 2pm and ive just been out to my car to find my window wiprs going, my internal heaters working on full blast and the music playing in my car

whilst my keys were upstairs in my room and car was full switched off


ive now got a flat battery and im really fucking puzzled, turned the car on and obviously it wont fire up,so turned it all the way off again and still my heaters and wipers work when the car is fully turned off

im puzzled and annoyed

 

What car?

 

christine

 

lol this happened to me last night when i got out my car locked it and realised something wasnt quiet right the heaters were still going as was the rear wiper i just switched the ignition on and offf a few times and opened and closed the doors and it stopped

 

Phil..................You ruined my joke

 

make sure it doesnt try and kill you

 

Have you got any clifford shite on it.........Like the Turbo timer?

 

its a mk6 1.3 ecore escort

 

Bang goes the turbo timer theory then..............


Educated guess................


ITS FCUKED!

 

fuse box probably

 

christine

 

Make sure its not parked near anything you wouldn't want to loose in a fire

 

Sh!t ive got a Mk5 1.3!! Hope mine doesnt decide its cold during the night!! What ever would make it do that?!?

On another matter, why do some cars continue to run after uve removed the keys from the ignition?? Ive seen a couple of cars do this.... Pug 309, and a Pontiac Firebird!!!

 

To cool the engine?

 

Something to do with the Pre-ignition or summit?

 

LOL

 

well just went out and turned the car on an off a few times and then turned it on and it started 1st time lol

so im really boggled as to what it was,from what I can see and my limited knowledge of the internals of a car it could be a dodgy connection or fuse I guess?


and whats this about christine,someone spill the beans im intrigued now

 

mk5/6 Escorts are notorious for having dodgy fuse boxes - that'd be the first thing I'd check.

I think they get quite a bit of moisture on them - especially with this crap weather we're having at the mo.

Cheers,

Christine is an old Stephen King horror book and film about a "possessed" chevrolet that goes around killing people.

 

the film version of the book was good too

 

Happened to one of my Renault 5 GT Turbos once, never knew why either...

 

 

 

and the film is ace!

 

Thsi was the same with my mums turned out to be a burnt out relay

 

My old Mk3 Escort did this and it turned out to be one of the wires at either the starter or Alternator. Check all the main connections on these to eliminate them
