Yesterday when i started my car [eb2 xr6] to go to work, i had my drivers door opened and noticed that the interior light wasn't working, so i closed and opened the door a few times and it came on.

Then while driving to work the radio started to switch on and off repeatedly by itself [about 10 -15 times] b4 it turned off and wouldnt come back on.

Today i went to use the wipers and wind screen washers and they not working either??, after trying a few other things, i found that the High beams when on constant r also not working [as opposed to when you pull the lever towards you to flash your high beams, still works].

Ive checked a few fuses, they are all good.
Does anyone have any ideas :?: :?: :?:

Hi make sure you check the barrel assembly with the key in the ignition move it up and down and see if the radio comes back on you will need to replace the ignition housing......

I just checked the fuses again, cause everything else seemed to be sweet and sure enough, i had blown the cigarete lighter fuse, and had missed it when i checked the 1st time.

Changed the fuse and all is working. lesson to be learnt...when u check something TAKE YOUR TIME AND DO IT PROPERLY THE 1ST TIME!

Thanks 4 ur help guys...and girls???
