Fuse on your window wiper keep blowing as soon as you put the ignition on i have a 2 liter vectra?
Asked by Wiki User
Anytime a fuse "blows" is an indication of an electrical overload, including a short circuit.
When the fuse failure is instantaneous upon turning the electrical power, indicates a direct short circuit. A short circuit is a condition where a "hot" conductor [wire] comes into direct mechanical contact with an object [another wire, a metal case, etc.] which is connected to ground.
This is true regardless of where the electrical circuit is located [i.e., your home, vehicle, boat, or whatever].
When a short circuit exists, there is ONLY ONE fix, to remove [or open up] the direct contact between the involved "hot" conductor [wire] and the grounded object.
To do that requires carefully checking every inch of the circuit [including connectors, switches, and the electrical devices served by the circuit] to find the contact point between the hot conductor and the grounded object. If all external wiring is free of shorting, sometimes shorts can occur inside connectors, switches, and devices.
Once found, the shorted contact point must be seperated, and the bare, exposed metal surfaces must be insulated to prevent future contact.
P reg vectra when you turn the ignition on a light stays on the dash it has a picture of an engine with a bolt of lightning in it what does this mean?
Asked by Wiki User
It PROBABLY means a problem with the charging system. Take the vehicle to a local auto parts retailer, such as Auto Zone or Checker Auto and have them connect the charging system diagnostics. If it's not the charging system, the computer is telling you that SOMETHING is wrong and you need to check the computer to see what it is. Borrow, rent or buy an OBD2 diagnostic code scanner and see what it says.
its your engine management light it means there is a problem with a sensor most commen faults are air mass sensor,cam shaft sensor,crank shaft sensor,egr valve or idle speed contral valve hope this as been helpfull!

How do you change the side indicator on a 2002 Vectra new shape?
Asked by Wiki User
Think these are the same as on the astra.You need to be a bit gentle to avoid breaking the clips.Push the whole lamp(try towards the rear first)until the small "barb"clip clears the slot and allows the lamp to swing out at one end.Then the lamp will come free.Just pull out the bulbholder and replace the bulb.Its a 501 capless type.Then simply clip the lamp back in,large clip first.

How do you change drop links on vauxhall corsa?
Asked by Wiki User
Failure to do this could result in injury as the link rod will be under tension, and will almost certainly "fly apart" when removal is attempted.
That said..
They are held on with one nut at the top, and one nut at the bottom.
Remove the nuts, and the link rod should just lift out. It might need a bit of "gentle persuasion" due to corrosion. Re-fitting is the reverse of removal.
Make sure you use new nuts, and tighten to the correct torque setting.
