Unplug the binnacle & replace the 10amp fuse in position 1. If this fuse doesn't blow, then either the binnacle has faulted or it's the work you have completed, which means you have to undo everything you've done until you find what's blowing that fuse. Be careful. Having fuse one short out can...

What's the lights on the suspension doing? Are they all solid, or access, bottom light solid & any other light above it flashing?

Yes, Black-box. Our knowledge is universal.

Check you front door window seals. After heavy rain a leaking seal can allow water to drip down onto the door amps. If they seem ok, go to the amp in the boot & take a look at the connectors. You may see some corrosion on them. Hope this helps until some more knowledgable advice comes along.

Can you send the becm to Cyprus or the UK?

It'll be cheaper to get your becm repaired as your lynx tool hasn't the ability to program a becm. How has your original becm been damaged? The rule of thumb is this, if you're going to replace your becm, you must go like for like. Match those numbers on the front of the becm. Get this wrong...

That is the only time I'd say buy the becm,key, ecu, door handle & ignition set. At least this will get you started but the vehicle electronics will be a mish mash, but can be addressed later if needed. This also stops the previous only from using the keys they have to nick it back. There's more...

You need diagnostics on the car. It's probably something minor, but without diagnostics it's just guesswork.

In reply to Mick, Who is being controversial, as my name suggests. I take you you are assuming? because you haven't a clue how I got that nick name, but pi** me off, you will find out. I take it you work for the AA or one of the others. I've been with the AA for 12 years, they don't give a...

Use the damned AA. You pay therm for recovery & when or where you bought it is nothing to do with them. They make their money by recovering vehicles. I've done it many times. I've told them in the past that I've just bought it & the owners lied about some of the problems. If the AA start...

check the engine temperature sensor.

You may have a grumbling pump.

If you've already tried a replacement ECU, & that's also blown, then it's another problem, like the loom or such. You will be the only person to solve this as you have the vehicle, & although this forum can guide you, it's just from guess work. Check connectors & no bent pins inside, but it's...

The tricks of the trade, Advertise the car with no keys & the potential buyers can't start it up or check anything. The vehicle may have many problems, throw the keys away & it only has one problem.

He found the fault, he just needs to establish if this burnt track is a primary or secondry problem. The gems ecu itself could be shorting out, but the rule of thumb is this, if the engine has had work & this fault is evident after the work, then go back to the work done. The usual problem...

& those flex plates on the Auto's fail.

Not that we know of. Because of the difference in the vehicle systems, they may not be compatible.

I'm pi**ing myself. A typical Jock. Drives a range rover but considers £100 to much to stop the friggin thing.

Did he mention the word reliabilty, or was it re liabilty?

Reading this thread is ringing alarm bells. I've seen this so many times where as soon as the battery is connected the horns blows until you disconnect again. This fault usually comes with the headlights on as well. Unless the horn itserlf has shorted out, I place my bets on the becm has...
