weird electrical problem with Nissan Patrol GQ 4.2l Diesel
Hi there.
I have a weird electrical problem with my '91 GQ.
I'm having major difficulties finding the problem due to the fact that it only happens sporadically.
With the ignition key in the OFF position and removed (!), some relays make clicking noises as if they engage and dis-engage. I know it's weird and doesn't make sense as with the key removed, surely all circuits should be OFF.
Lately, a new sound came on as well, which sounds like electrical sparks/number of small short circuits. This sound comes from a component where I'm not even 100% sure what it actually is. Hence the picture attached. I think it's part of the A/C but I'm really not sure.
any ideas what may cause these problems?! Pointers or contacts to good auto electrician in the Perth / Fremantle area would be greatly appreciated.
