It sounds like you have a ground issue, here are the ground circuit wiring diagrams with a guide to help you check the connection, also you can do a CAN scan which will go over all network components. here is a video:

When you say angle sensor do you mean crankshaft or camshaft? I dont think either will cause the blinker, wipers and sunroof not to work.

exactly God as well but I thought I would ask anyways cos I'm still trying to figure out what the problem may be I also have another question for you about the SRS light it comes on and when it does come on there's a clicking sound behind the dashboard within the dashboard and the right hand blinker when he turns left the flick is really fast so I'm thinking that's a lightbulb issue I'm not too sure what your input on it please and sometimes works for the right when the cars not going when sitting in Park only but when it goes and also when it goes into gear it doesn't work at all only the left would you be able to give me some insight on that please if you can possibly Thanks very much i wish there was a way I can buy the manual for the electrician problems and to repair the car for myself if you know any way I can do that can you please send me through a link so I can buy it cheers

Will the clock spring cause a problem like this because there's power going to it sometimes but then sometimes it doesn't work the buttons on my steering wheel and sometimes the buttons work fine so it's a real difficult one but the air conditioner is on constant blowhard and I can't change none of the settings on it neither and it's only happened since everything has happened and will happen together I've had it to 2 electricians and they said I don't know what it is they told me 500 each and now answer

But the noise behind the ignition and SRS light flashes when the noise happens. what would that be related to? in the boot light in the boot won't open with the button inside the car neither with a sunroof. but I don't know what are the fuses are. only getting a certain amount and voltage. so I could that be the reason why everything's not working because it is not getting enough power.

When I flicker the blinker switch the SRS light goes off and the noise stops and my right blinker will work. but when I put the left indicator on that's just starting to happen. so I don't know what the problem is. I would really drive me crazy. Hi got something to ask if you be able to give me some light on it as I am new at this trying to read the icar app i have downloaded here's the pictures from what my wife had take the picture for me to send to you if you have any idea of how to show message

The orange fuse is getting no power the others are getting a little bit of power but I checked everything else and they're getting a little bit of power so I don't know why you're not getting full power when I'm gone over everything that I don't know what it is done I don't know what it could be it's only something little though did you get the picture of the OBD read out do you know what that could be

The wipers the blinkers sunroof in the boot opener for inside won't work. I replaced the wiper switch up replace sand module place all fuses and relays. I checked on the wires there's only a little bit of power going to the fuses does anyone know what it could be? RS light comes on and when I touch the blinker switch back and forwards it makes a noise and goes away but when I go to flick the lights backwards to make the high beam not forward the high beam works but back to make it flicker it doesn't work but I replace the blinker switch twice so I don't know what it is. I've replaced two blinker switch is replaced two sandwiches I have replaced all the fuses I replaced all the relays, I checked all the wiring but I still got the problems. I don't know what it is the fuses getting half the power the 40 in fuse on the left-hand side doesn't get any power and the 40, is on the other side doesn't get any power. so what would that be I replace the gear shifter? I replace the wiring harness to the gearbox, I have replaced some light globes.

just want to let you know something. I changed the blinker groups today and if I put the left blinker on the right one works if I pick the right one on the right one works. so I don't know what causes it. it's got to come to an end this problem.
