[QUOTE="a1, post: 170754, member: 2"] Forgot to me mention that when I had problems with the "Heater blowers" on this car - I striped back to check everything. (several weeks ago). What I found was burnt out relays and that someone had poked a cable into the fuse carrier and then into the block connector where the switched live was. :_| Got rid of that cable and re-made a proper one. CHanged the Relays and their holders and all was well for a while. Oh gawd, I forgot the readings that I just took on my car. :( There wasn't much of a change when I tested from engine off to engine start up. (IIRC) Sidelights and Headlights weren't too much of a drop either? With lights on and Heater blowers on too, (and hazards) it was somewhere in the region of 13.49V? I will double check these Tomorrow. ALSO: There are FOUR side lights in the rear of a Fiat Ulysse / Peugeot 806 / Citreon Synergie. There were only two working (two outer ones). The two in the actual tail gate (boot) itself were out. So I popped off the boot interior cover and the n/s one was faulty (re-sat the lamp in and it worked), went to the other side and the lamp had gone so I changed that. Then I changed the dim lamp in the second of the two number plate lights. Much better... ... Hang on a mo - the n/s tailgate lamp was not working. Tried all ways to get it to work, but it didn't. Ending up changing the holder and the lamp. Job done in that repsect. Re-checked all interior and exterior lamps and all is well with them. Hopefully, it was the dodgey lamp and holder that was the problem? Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
