Sounds like you may be getting water inside of the fuse panel.Take your fuses out and check for corrosion,and blown fuses. When replacing them,use small amounts of dielectric grease on them. But my main concern would be figuring out the water is getting inside the car.Possibly a bad door seal,or leaking windshield seal.Good Luck!

It is low battery voltage. It's a common problem with late model falcons, being more demanding on battery voltage. The original batteries were only warranted for 12 months and were not really up to the task. Your best solution is replace it with a good quality higher capacity battery, around the 600CCA range. This is also true for the bf falcons. Generally when the battery is starting to die you will get airbag errors popping up for a few weeks then after a while it will immobilise.

ba engine generally is strong, common fault is ecu, if hard starting when cold, pour hot water on computer and it should start, also have you scanned vehicle?

Why are you pouring hot water on the ECU? I would be checking the spark plugs first

THE THROTTLE ON THIS IS ELECTRONIC. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PEDAL SENDER OR THE THROTTLE BODY MOTOR

run a scan on the car

There might be a short-circuit somewhere between the fuse box to the light. I think that somewhere in that region is a wire that touches the body of the car, or something like that. The body of the car is (most of the time) the mass (the negative of the battery). For me, it could either be the wire from the fuse box to the light (maybe the rubber coating is damaged?), either the mounting stock of the light bulb (often the problem in household lamps), or the fuse holder which touches the body without any insulation.

Asker's rating & comment

Driving through junk yards, a roadside electrician points out the obvious to me that my taillight is out and he could fix it for $80. After checking for about 45 min. He gets all my lights running. No more blown fuses. He said it was the headlights causing the problems. The wires were touching. Thnk

Remove the icc unit is the only way

Have you checked repalced the battery since you had the car. I had a G6E turbo and a few times i had the same issue, I also had Engine Immobilized come up a few times even tho i could still just start my car.. Once i got a new battery i did not have an issue

run fault codes to find any faulty sensor. You may have to take it to a vehicle gas installer to have the gas system checked out as the unit may be corroded inside.

it needs to be taken to the dealer

You could have pinched a wire. Check to see if there is power going to the bulb by using a test light.

you should have disconnected the battery and then just left it ,try the spare key first incase its been de goussed by a mobile phone or similar .I dont think their is a lot else wrong but their could be as this sort of fault i do get a lot with the cars left at the long term airport parking where the battery isnt disconnected

there should be two skrews in backe of steering wheel may be dificuklt to see there may to plastic covers over the screws as well or may be four screws

timing belt may need to be tighten,need to check valve tappet clearance,set perfect timing,clean all sensors in manifolds
