Sam Mcgoo Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Sounds like there maybe a problem with the EPDM module located behind the battery under the scuttle panel. Normally things would just stop working, so I suspect you could have water in there shorting things out. That would be my first port of call as it controls all the items you describe. There is a test you can do that runs through all the functions which can be found in the workshop manual, Google and I think I did a post about it here a few years back so worth a search. I would have a look for signs of moisture in there first, as if thing are shorting out and you keep functioning them you could do further damage.

ZMANALEX Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 The IPDM is behind the battery and the BCM is fixed to the other fuse box inside the car beside the acc.pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencider Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Doing some searching is the ipdm the entire fuse block behind the battery .. if it's wet how do I fix this and stop it happening again.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yes the large fuse box with all the relays is the IPDM. If you have water ingress then you will have to firstly trace the source and then determine a fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencider Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Can't get a auto test running either, drivers door open , press door switch 10 times.. ign off then back on again.. test should run ? But it don't... does one think this is still a ipdm fault. ?? I have a melon on the drive right now for first time in many years .. if I get a used ipdm will the same thing happen again/ I may ask on here if anyone has a know working one , do they just fail or would there be a reason to it?

Greg Warnes Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 No water inside this unit :’( May be worth unplugging the electrical plugs/connection (battery disconnected) to ensure there is no water in the connections rather than the unit.

ZMANALEX Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Glad to hear that your IPDM issue is now sorted, and hope that you fixed the water ingress issue. For future similar issues for other forum members, I currently hold stock of circa 6 IPDM complete modules priced at £100.00 each., Alex.

Sam Mcgoo Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Glad you got the ipdm sorted....... Was that a thanks? Regarding the exhaust, all you have put up is a load of numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Where has the exhaust broken? The usual place is just near to to the rear flange. You could weld it up for now and save for a decent stainless system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencider Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Lol yes sorry that's a thanks.. No water was near it , just went screwy The numbers were for ebay lol.. I'm so useless .. Yea the pipe has broken where it connects to the back box system, looks like it's been bodged before and don't look weldable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencider Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 You wouldn't believe it the same fault .. exactly the same has returned.. what the hell, is something breaking this unit or what else is going on... Getting pretty annoyed with 350 now. . Angry face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Are you sure there is NO water ingres? If you've had weather in Cornwall as we have here in Surrey for the last couple of days it's been chucking it down, seems more than a bit of a coincidence.

bencider Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I understand what you saying it is.. No water was Any where near the Unit.
