alright my TA22 is mucking around just in time for me to sell it, i want to fix it though. Here's what it's doing, hopefully one of you guys will know what's the go, hopefully it's something simple like a loose earth or something. Here's the symptoms:
1. Intermmitently it has this "tantrum" where seemingly all the wiring goes haywire, except the car still goes fine.
2. The lights turn off, the wipers don't work, i don't think the vent fan works (not sure about that one) and the fuel and water guages both go crazy, the needles just climb straight off the top of the gauge.
3. as well as these probs, the tacho only reads roughly the actualy revs, and it's all floppy all over the place.
4. The indicator 'arrows' on the dash jam-on as well as the blue high beam light, however they aren't on outside the car.
5. the speedo is fine
6. If i want the wipers to work, i have to turn them on on the dash, turn the lights on, and hold back the high-beam flasher for the wipers to work.
7. for the lights to work, i have to turn on the wipers and the lights, then flash the highbeams once to get the lights on. however when i indicate the headlights flash! (indicators work though)
8. Recently the lights have just been turning off by themselves and even if i flash the highbeams to bring them back on they go straight off again.
9. somehow the vent fan is also connected to this
10. when the lights are off but it is in it's mucking around stage (you can tell when the highbeam and indicators jam on the dash) if i turn the wipers on, the dash lights come on! but the wipers don't work  haha unless i hold the highbeams on... you get the picture, it's pretty stuffed.
Any help will be GREATLY appreaciated!
André
