Heater not working in my xtype
The heater on my 2002 xtype just stopped working. The fuse blows when it is replaced time after time. The fuse is used for the air con, the electric mirrors, and for the battery backup unit (or similar)I think the problem may be the latter, but I am unsure what this is used for. Can anyone help?

Gary, can you please tell me what fuse keeps blowing. I would like to help you get to the end of this. Just not sure what fuse you are talking about as I don't see a common fuse in the diagrams for what you are experiencing.

Gary, by chance, are you talking about the plug that goes into the back side of the battery box? If so, that should be disconnected. that is only used from the factory to the dealership. After that, it remains disconnected (it is a battery tender connection for when it is on a ship being transported around the world).
The "Sounder" that you are referring to is part of the security system. When you cause the car to think it is being broken into, it turns on a horn under the hood of the car. is that what you disconnected? It should have a little cone associated with it. If you could, take a picture of what you disconnected and then we will be able to tell you exactly what you disconnected. |

Gary, do not worry about it. Life comes first, then the computer. I get a little busy myself between work, life, and my second job. So, enjoy life. You only have 1 shot at it.
As for the sounder, personally, if that is all that was causing the problem, then I would call it good and move on. If you can get your hands on another one, then fine. Otherwise, if someone wants your car, they are going to get it. That horn is not going to stop them. |

I have seen your comments on most. The misfire occurred on cylinder 5. I swapped the coil with cylinder 2, and the misfire followed. Great, I replaced the coil. Ran the car this morning but it still misfired, but I have no errors logged. It was a definite misfire at about 80 mph, flashing warning light, reduced acceleration, but no codes. Any ideas? |
