Another problem (not my fault)
06. May 2011 at 17:43

A few weeks ago i posted that my mechanic had bust the oil filter canister then charged me £35 extra plus £5 for the part from a scrappy for the priveledge.
Anyway today
Takes the car for a full valet they wet the carpets and seats ONLY (plus the boot mat).
On picking up the bonnet is up and the 80 amp fuse above the battery had been taken out so i asked why?
The alarm (horn) is going off when the fuse is put back in so obviously a sensor has got wet and this is causing the problem I THINK.
Thing is as you know when the fuse is out Hardly anything works horn, speedo, rev counter, heater/air con, boot release, radio, display etc etc etc.

Does anyone have any idea which sensor/fuse may have got wet/damp ..... remember they only wet the carpets and seats with a sponge and scrubbing brush ..... or failing that does anyone know if i can disable the alarm (horn) so i can put the 80 amp fuse back in and HOW do i disable said alarm
