[was Whats going on?!?
Title of topic changed to allow future serches - Admin]
Strange occurances in the bongo today on the way home from work. When I indicate, the cd player turns off. When I apply the brakes, the cd player goes quiet and/or turns off. I also notice the door open light dimly comes on.
I guess this would be some sort of crossed wire type problem, but why would it suddenly happen, and what can I do to remedy it. As much as I dislike Steve Wright in the Afternoon on Radio 2, its even more irritating when he keeps cutting out!

Hi Rich
It is almost certainly your voltage sensing relay packed up and therefore the leisure battery gone flat. As your interior lights and radio are off it then this is why they are not working.
I have stopped using those relays now having had a few fail.
If you can get the van over I will replace the relay and prepare an upgrage to a heavier duty one.

Thanks for the tip, I'd just noticed that the channel in front of the windscreen on mine was full up - that prompted me to clear it out pronto.Kentish Paul wrote:Similar thing happened to me. Make sure the rain draiage pipe under the windscreen is not blocked. It is easily clogged with debris and the water plays havoc with the electricals under the bonnet.
Good luck.
I just stuck a compressor air jet in the bottom of the tube and blew it through, it did a perfect impression of Moby Dick.
But that really is a rubbish bit of design, locating a major block of fuses and relays right under a potential source of leaks.
I think I'm going to fabricate a shield out of thin plastic sheet and fix it to cover the fuse box and heater unit.
