Hi All, This one was ticking over on a ramp in local garage when it cut out, battery was dis and reconnected vehicle started, then cut out again ign was not switched off after a few mins everything kicked back into life and vehicle started and parked up in sales compound. Has never cranked on key since. I was called in to have a look see. Checked continuity from starter relay to BECM all ok. Will crank if I earth wire. But not fire. Checked from other side of BECM to ignition switch all ok, ign switch is earthing the white and red wire, if I earth wire to ignition switch at the BECM nothing. Also has lost feed to ECM and ABS, T4 nor Modis will not communicate with either ECU. Have found water in inertia switch and loom, loads of water around loom on O/S sill. All dried out and tested, working fine. It seems. Vehicle is not immobilised, no display warnings on dash, not asking for EKA or anything. I suspect BECM fault, have checked both boards for dry joints, can't see any.
Could do with a few ideas apart from burning it. Going bald quickly. Nige
