Hi
I went to leave from work last night and the main cabin light would not come on (I even checked playing with the switch and checked the bulbs), on driving home a number of other weird things are happening:
1) "front" reversing lights are not working, when reverse is engaged the passenger courtesy light illuminates dimly.
2) The central locking does not work - however the alarm appears to arm (lights flash)
3) On start up and shut down there is some relay "chatter" originating under the passenger airbag.
4) When the driver door is opened the passenger courtesy light is also dimly lit - it seems to resolve when the break is applied.
My father owns a plastic lotus, so I'm aware that this bizare electrical behaviour is most likely the result of a poor ground/earth somewhere.
My question is - based on the collection of signs - any suggestions on where to start looking.
I am reluctant to let a dealership loose on it (in case it turns into an expensive goose chase).
Thanks in advance for your help, I hope someone has solved a similar problem.
Regards, James Sutherland-Smith
