Electrical gremlins can be a challenge.

I understand your frustration. Been there and done that.

I had an endless list of electrical problems with my 911. Wires burnt, connections burnt, wires broken and a bunch of ugly DIY splicing done with those *****ty clamp connectors.

Compounding this, I cut the after market alarm out of the car without understanding what it was connected to. Oops!! Nothing worked after this.

I went through every wire connection point and component cleaning and tightening the connections. Replaced all the fuses and relays - cleaning and tightening the connections.

Replaced wires that needed to be replaced by soldering and shrink wrapping the splices.

Took me weeks. But, the car runs like new - everything works - and I learned that German wiring isn't always the best.

I found a great deal of patience is required to chase electrical problems.

Good luck.
