Vauxhall Corsa C - Corsa C starting issue - andrewscott87

Hi

My 1.4 corsa c design has a starting/cutting out issue.

When warm it wont restart. The left hand lights on the dash (eml, seatbelt) won't light at all and the fuel pump doesn't prime. Also the wipers wont work. Everything else still functions. It turns over.

It will only start when the lights come back on then the fuel pump starts. Usual takes a few minutes. 3 times it has actually died whilst driving.

Fault codes u2105 and u2108. But the abs module seems fine.

Other issues that may be related are. Revs hunt when my foot is slightly on the pedal. When it hunts the dash lights dim with it. Lumpy idle too. All this when warm. Fine when cold.

Electrical connection problems behind the instrument panel are common on these. Next time it occurs try gently pressing dash and see if the lights come on. If they do the fault is likely to be behind the dashboard.....

Hi thanks for the reply. Already tried that no dice I'm afraid.

Seems to only happen after the engine has been used and warmed up.

May be an idea to check the connector blocks on the body control module.This is situtaed in the relay box next to the battery.Uncrew the torx screws and lift the lid.The body module is the largest of the relays in the box.

Checked, seems fine.

Car wont start at all now. Wipers don't work either but I can hear the relay for them clicking.
