I think a wire must be shorting to earth. You do get unexpected results.Waggle individual wires to see what happens. May fail altogether of course but you will have identified the problem and its not going to go away!

ive tried all that and just spent 2 hours trying to trace the wires does anyone know what the relay colour code is it doesnt say in the manual and i'm wondering if maybe its a problem with the interior light relay shorting out ..... or maybe the fusebox ?????????...im really stuck with this one i cant even find the interior light relay any more ideas would be most welcome ...thanks ..shane
