Hi there

My Fairway has just come back from havign a replacement windscreen - during the process (which took several weeks and involved the company breaking ten windscreens) the taxi was left in the rain with a non sealing windscreen and water ran down behind the dash and into the footwells...

anyway now it has come back the rear door alarm continually sounds , accompanied by thr LH and RH door open lights on the dash - and neither front or rear interior lights work.

Have checked all doors are closed and door switches move in and out correctly - but as it shows both doors beign open i feel it must be a dash fault rather than an individual door switch.

Any ideas ?

What a nightmare.

I suggest you get a decent car electrics man to have a play. One that specialises in cabs would be good.

But not an easy job. :sad:

I would not let them near it if they can break 10 windscreens what will be left of the cab after they finish with it :shock:

employ an auto electrician and invoice the windscreen company for the work.

Crawley is'nt not far from London.

I can recommend two Taxi electricians.

One is the guy who works in Ascotts Taxi centre in Deptford, and two, is a little independant guy who works next to Trevors Taxis in Cambridge Heath Road, Bethnal Green.

Both have worked on taxis for decades, I would imagine they would sort your problem out very quickly.
