Hi,

My wifes 04 plate Ford Cmax is having issues...the alarm goes off by itself every so often, i put it down to heavy wind or whatever...but then strange things happened. I looked out of my window and noticed the cabin light was on...little bit odd...i went outside to take a look and the wipers started!!?

Oh and then it tried to start itself.

Being as technically gifted in cars as I am i diagnosed it myself and have narrowed it down to two things.

Haunted
Herbie.

WTF is going on with my car ? Do i set it on fire ?

Help :(
 
Sounds like there could be water in the engine bay fuse box. Infact do a google search for "ford flooded fuse box" and the first result is of someone with their alarm and wipers going :p

The AA guy who had to fix my car after a spring broke was complaining about ford with problems like this and water getting into the top mount and rusting the bolt so you have a nightmare when a spring breaks. He'd only just had to sort out a ford with similar symptoms due to water in the fuse box.

Excellent I'll put the crucifix down and call the local garage later on. I'm due to trade it in for a new car anyway soon but I'll sort this first.

Thanks
