Electric shocker
Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 08 Apr 2004

I HAVE no information to suggest a widespread problem with the Espero, though I can say Daewoo seems to have caught the British bug for building cars with dodgy electrics. They have a bad reputation for their electrical systems, which appear on the surface to be built to a budget and are thus unreliable. I would persist and return it to a Daewoo dealer until the problem is traced and fixed. Make sure they check all wiring loom connections. Daewoo connectors are deplorable -- make sure there are no breaks in wires and ensure the wiring isn't rubbing on a panel where you can't see it. I have seen cars where complete wiring harnesses have been replaced, only to find the problem was a damaged pin in a connector.
