Thread: 130 ELECTRICS?????

Absolutly, mines a 2000 model and i had to get mine rewired last year and now it's at the auto elec's again still blowing fuses but this time on the guages only.
From what i'm told it's where the wiring runs into the chassis, it wares out and shorts, apparently it's a common problem. How many k's has yours done?

Hi
Yeh been there done that, could not see any damage , I've got 245 000km on it.
Thanks Bob

mine use to do the same

turned out to be a faulty hazard switch

so now its been bypassed and never had a problem since
only problem is i have no hazard lights if i breakdown

yup! mine's a 2000 model and has done 300k now, and most of my electrical problems all started at about 250k. If i buy another 130 sort of 01 to 03 model then i might just get it re wired straight away. what year is yours?

if your asking about mine............

its also a 2000 TD5

Same thing happens on my 11/98 build.

The loom chafes where it goes through the chassis rails.

I also had the LHS parkers/tail light shorting out, turned out to be one of the screws in the number plate light being a touch too long and shorting on one of the terminals.

Its the right hand side for me. But only when I tow it blows. Dosent matter what or whos trailer I pull, as soon as I turn on the parkers they go. Every thing else brakes, indacator fine.
