I didnt do anything to it I just wanted to try it. Im really hesitant to leaving it to the Authorized shop here since I have had no luck with them before and they have a bad rep |
You need to find an electrical specialist. This may be a case of a bad ground or connection if your alternator and battery is good. Has this car been flooded or have had major issues in the part like an accident of something

Maybe i should remove bumper and headlamp and remount them just to check if any wires or outlets has been damaged or not mounted properly? |
You can but I can't see a problem with that. I've seen crazier things happen though. Report back what you find. I'd also look at grounding wires under the hood also the positive jump point to make sure it securely bolted on

Allright, so last night when i got back from work i tore down the whole front bumper and grill and looked for damaged cables or faulty connectors but with no success.
Had the hood open and accidentally glanced at the aux battery under the hood and noticed it was old. I actually thought the workshop had it replaced. Checked the trunk and the main battery was new. Well, maybe they tested the aux and it was fine. But when i went to bed it gave me second thoughts about it so today i took the car to a battery and alternator specialist and got the battery tested. It was at 18% capacity. So now i have a new one. Pretty sure this was the problem… atleast im hopeful. And a bit store i cant trust shops these days. |
So in my old Jeep the aux battery did stuff like that--i do not think my US spec 530 has an aux battery up front! interesting. glad things are looking up.
