Electrical issues

My 09 MCS has recently started some electical problems: 1)I can not adjust my mirrors without replacing a fuse,2) Heated seats do heat up,3) The truck opens itself while driving and parked. Has anyone out there had any issues like this,your input would be much appreciated.....Peter

See the Stock Problems/Issues forum. Some of your issues sound familiar, some don't. I recall seeing something about the boot opening. Don't recall if there were any comments about mirror adjustments.

Anyway, it sounds like you have a trip to the dealer in your future.

Wow.. My car had "under-voltage issues," which were resolved by the dealer, but I'm not sure how. I think it was just something to do with the computer.

Good luck.

It wouldn't be a British-built car if it didn't have electrical issues. It adds character!

Although I feel somewhat cheated as my R53 has never had any problems in over 100k miles. No melting body work... no deafening racket at start up... no low voltage problems... so boring.

Ah the reference to MR LUCAS, "THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS", electrical malfunctions was his name, owners misery was his game.
