So this ones a doozy.
Crazy Brisbane rain storms yesterday pelted my car while it was parked outside for a few hours. I got water leakage in the boot which i hear is typical of dc2s of the mid 90's era. After searching ozhonda, i worked out the culprit areas for the leaks etc, and i'm over this hurdle.. HOWEVER..
After reattaching the rear panelling etc some weird electronic stuff happened to my car. The interior lights won't turn on. Instead, when i click the 2 front ones on.. (just above the rearview) my dash 'door open' light switches on and the car beeps at me coz it apparently thinks my doors are open.. i have the key in all positions (stereo.. then acc, then while running etc) and the annoying beep sound won't come on when i ACTUALLY open the door. THis is great!!! but i know its not supposed to be this way. (flippin ironic)
my exterior lights and all that work.. stereo works fine etc etc.. juz this one particular problem with cabin lights and how they activate lights on my dash instead and do weird stuff.. all i did was fiddle with the rear panelling and check for sunroof piping disconnections etc
I did wobble and check wiring in the back to see for leaks near the light pods etc but don't see how this has affected the rest of the car. I disconnected my amp.. left the positive wire from battery taped up and away from ground points.. >_< I'm a bit confused. any ideas on how to solve this would be great.
and to make things sweeter.. i hit a freshly opened pot hole yesterday too. front right wheel's alignment feels off now ( hit it at about 80kph). feels like its clicking on me and pulling slightly. I HATE POT HOLES!:(:(:(
