Hey guys having electrical issues with my MPI.

If I turn on the interior fan, then the lights in two of the rocker switches turn on, and also the car radio, however the fan itself does not turn on.

If I press the horn, then the same two rocker switches light up, but the horn doesn't make any noise as it should.

I had recently had the whole wiring loom (main + engine) and the engine itself out of the car... Theres some cables up front which are just looped off (I don't have the additional front spots).

Any help/ideas would be much appreciated

Yeehaa, that did the trick. The connecter was all covered in gunk/oxidisation. I unclipped the metal part out of the connector cover, cleaned it all up, and now its all working! Horn works, fan works, no unexpected lights going on!
Cheers Steve!
