The electrics on my TDI seem to have gone mad.
First off, the alarm took to going off seemingly randomly, but it occurred to me that it started to happen when it had been a cold night.... and generally at about 7 in the morning!
Then I found out that whenever I unlocked the car ( I only use the key, fob battery is dead), the interior lights flashed like mad, but went out when I started the engine.
Following that, I realised that in addition to the above, the other doors of the car, including boot and fuel flap, wouldn't unlock, and nor would the electric windows operate........ until I'd been driving for about 20 minutes or so.
So far my only action has been to disconnect the siren..... and that's quite a challenge in itself!
Anybody got any ideas as to how I fix this properly?
Thanks in advance
John
