2014/07/01 Electric gremlins

Today, july 1st, proof came that the car isn’t quite finished yet. After a short stop at the shop, the car wouldn’t start. A problem that had occurred before, it went away without ever knowing what caused it in the first place. Shaking the wiring harness a bit, usually made sure we could start again and today, luckily, is no exception. 
Some research leads me to believe it’s got to do with the TSZ unit and most probably the notorious “green wire”.
After arriving home, I dig into the electric gremlins at once. The rear fog light isn’t working and the left headlight, together with the left window engine, is on strike.
Working with an American wiring diagram on a European car makes things a bit more difficult but it’s time for some thorough action.First of all the fuse panel board will get some cleaning and for the upcoming week(s) this is the to do list:

-Fuse panel clean up
-Fixing rear fog light
-Fixing left headlight
-Remove moisture from headlight and clean all lenses
-Restore window engines
-Finish of interior lighting
-Deal with the green wire
-Change oil
-pass the vehicle inspection

-drive the car :-)
