Hi there,

check that all the electrical connectors for sensors are dry and tight, also check ignition as well, run a scan to see if there are any set fault codes that can help with the diagnosis, start here.

Cheers mate. Just finished checking all the electrics and sensors. They all seem to be dry and tight. Althoughthe scan didnt help with the diagnosis when serching through the car I found that the passangers foot well had water on it. And after further searching I found the computer had moisture on the outside of it and when opened it had moisture also inside. Would this cause my problem?
