  1. Oh ok. Awesome, thank you very much!😊
  2. Ok so tiny update... ran the intelligent tester and came up with error code c1249 open in stop switch circuit. So my guess (And it is just a guess) is the skid control ecu shorted out during flooding. I'm also guessing my best bet is to just buy a new pump & modual? However, ill go through the check procedures first and see how i go. My question, and it might seem like a silly question but I'm old school mechanical and to be honest the whole electrical system has me a little confused, but this error wouldn't have anything to do with the steering lock would it? Please, if I'm wrong, correct me! Any thoughts would be great. Cheers
  3. Thanx KAA😊. Hopefully next week we will replace the steering lock ecu and get somewhere with her. If nothing else, it will have both my partner and I, knowing a lot more then what we did when we started. And that's always bonus! Will definatley post updates as we go😁. Cheers
  4. No worries, Tony. If i put my real name on here I'd be mistaken for a male as well. No biggie😁😁. Yea the seats and interior came up great. It took a lot to get the mud off and clean but they all look great now. Put that motor trimming experience to work that's for sure. I'm in far north qld, campbean. Outside of Cairns. Should be able to find something this way to fix her. If not, I've got a few places in Brissy worked out that will freight stuff up this way for me. Will keep you posted on how i go with her though. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 cheers.
  5. Thanks for the suggestions. We've had an industrial fan blowing in there since water came down trying to helping dry inside out. Didn't think to get heater blower in there but will definately grab one tomorrow, as well as pull the whole dash out. She would have been under for 6/7 hours. And watching her go under was heart breaking. Worst part was getting through high tide with water only coming halfway up the wheels and thinking she was going to be ok, to then being completely smashed and water rising around 15/20cm every twenty mins during low tide!! I actually had comprehensive insurance until two months ago when, due to unforseen life issues, couldn't afford to pay it any longer. I've had a look at the flood bags but couldnt find them in Australia, campbean. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place? Unfortunately we were not at home at the time it started to flood and by the time we got home it was 2am and no longer able to get her out. 4x4 accessible... just, but to high for the Aurion. All electrical connectors inside and out have been done with contact cleaner. Except what may be up behind the dash, but as i said, we will pull the rest of that tomorrow, grab a heater blower and stick that in there. At this point Im willing to give anything a go. Upside... at least my interior all looks amazing and clean now. I've got to take the upsides as i find them. It keeps my hope alive😉. Also, I'm female so i like shiny things. And I don't like to give up, which is just a stubborn nature thing, not a female thing. So not so much brave, Tony, just really really love my car and completely unwilling to give up at this point. My other half.... now that's a brave man!😂😂. Photo's are for anyone's curiosity purposes. Cheers guys!
  6. Yea I do realise I'm going to have a struggle with her in the future as well as now. Insurance would have made it much easier😔. Thanks for advice on the actuator. We'll give this a try next. That and the door lock seems to be the only issues so far but she has to be put back together yet so im expect more😭. Cheers.
  7. We've actually tried the suggestions on that page, unfortunately the links do not work. The fuse that blew was a headlight fuse going by fuse box diagram online so that shouldn't have anything to do with it. And we have tried all the normal things you should do to get it out of lock. Including replacing fob battery and using the fob to push in the start button, applying brake while pushing start & not applying brake while pushing start. And before anyone asks... Yes she is in park😉.
  8. Hi guys, So, due to recent flooding, my 2009 Aurion Zr6 went under water. Before any gives me the run down, on considering it a right off, this isn't an option so well just move on😉. Anyway she has been almost stripped to bare bones inside. Everything was taken out, cleaned 10 times over, dried out, smothered in contact cleaner, fuses all swapped for new ones, main ECM was taken out, no water intake but connectors wet. Dried and contact cleaner applied. Less then 1/2 cup water in oil. Drained, flushed and new filter. New battery. No water in transmission but drained and new filter. After everything was left to dry for 2 weeks and cleaned, we reconnected the main body ECM and airbag control module and battery. Spark plugs removed and went to crank her to flush any water out of motor. When she was first connected to battery a 15amp fuse blew and gave off a slight burning smell. This is when we replaced all fuses with me ones. Second attempt to crank her and we got lights (high beam, low beam & fog), parkers, brake lights, indicators, windows and aircon All working. Door lock not working. Display on dash "S/T is not unlocked" so steering lock engaged. Every attempt to get out of steering lock has failed. Obviously we were unable to turn her over. So question... with all that info does anyone have an idea as what the issue could be? Any info that could help would be appreciated. As long as it's not a suggestion to ditch her a buy another car. No insurance on this one and not in a position to replace her. Water level reached top of glove box. That's with her jacked up on two rear floor jacks too full extension and front end on trolley jack to full extension to keep as much water out of front end as possible. Yes front end was higher then rear. Cheers😊
