1998 214si electrical problems

Post by Nickd »

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a 1998 214si. Up until last week everthing was ok,but now have problems. The stereo has stopped working aswell as the rear fog lights,sunroof and rear wipers. Anybody have any idea what the problem is and how to fix. The fuses I have checked and they are all fine.

Cheers

Nick

1998, so it's a bubble and not a wedge one?
Check the electrical harness which goes (in a rubber "tube") into the boot door.
