Re: Roof wont raise

Re: Bongo lights going on spontaneously.

Re my previous post w.r.t. bongo headlights being on spontaneously. Turned out the insides of the relays were rusted seriously, so tracking was taking place from live feed to relay coils, particularly when weather conditions were humid, (the copper salts in evidence being hygroscopic), and :D that ...

Bongo lights going on spontaneously.

Before I set about tracing out the wiring, I thought I would just ask if any one else came across this bongo fault.
Noticed one evening that the bongo head lights were on when I hadn't used it that day. Sure enough, the headlight switch was off. As it was not a convenient time to start repairs, I ...
