Thread: Suspect Water in Connectors-Fault Indicators

I am sure I have seen a similar report to this before but cant find it. I was out in the high country last week when I went through a pretty small puddle in the road. Now I am getting multiple fault indicators including, HDC Failure, suspension failure, brake failure and lowering vehicle. When I restart problems goes away for a while but did return for a day. Everything was OK for the next day then another puddle and away we went again. It makes it very challenging when crossing a creek and starting out the opposite bank with a steep climb ahead and the car wants you to stop. Any help please.

Sounds similar to a fault I had.

I had an 'alien' brake bulb which I replaced with a genuine one. Cured the problem for a week, then it happened again.

Another forum member mentioned wheel alignment as my steering wheel wasn't straight when driving straight....if you see what I mean.

I've just had this done as part of a service, but the service manager reckons the fault lies with the 'brake switch'.

They had none in stock, but since the wheel alignment has been done.....all's well.

Still gonna fit the brake switch, when it arrives, though.

The last time it happened I was braking whilst approaching a roundabout. However, I noticed the vehicle didn't lower until I took my foot off the brake.

'Spose you could left foot brake until clear of a creek crossing.
