This sounds like a question Jim H is best to awnsew. 
My first thought was the relays.But yes the earth, from the battery might be 
the first thing to check. 
Hope someone more capable that me can point you in the right direction.

whether my diagnosis is correct or whether it could be some simple fix! 
Any thoughts gratefully received.

[Quantum Owners] Electrics Failure

Hi,

I have a 2+2 and on Monday after driving for 50-60 miles I noticed that the 
indicators had suddenly stopped working. 

I had actually just joined the A1(M) so over the next few miles a check 
revealed that the only thing still working was the engine. No indicators, 
radio, heater fan, electric windows, fuel gauge - the list goes on. I left 
the A1(M) and pulled into a layby.  

I pulled the bonnet release, got out of the car, went to the nearside to 
open the bonnet and my wife then said that the radio had started working. 
(Unfortunately 
I didn't have time to check the lights)

A further check revealed that everything else was back on line.

I did wonder whether the action of opening the door or using the boot 
release may have re-disturbed the wiring to make everything work again but 
when I got home and tried to move the wiring, where possible, everything 
kept on working.

I am now assuming that with everything failing that this is not a

Re: [Quantum Owners] RIP H4

2019-08-07 Thread bill
It’s been two weeks since the accident and we’ve had an offer for the car, I’ll 
be keeping the salvage so if anyone is interested in car or any parts feel free 
to drop me a line, could be a couple of weeks before I can release things.
