Message centre fail
I lost all warning lights in the message centre, and also the trip computer readings. However, everything else on the car (2 litre Connie) was apparently working ok. I might add the ABS warning light in the centre cluster was not affected and stayed lit (ok, I know I have a fault to be fixed before the mot).
The next day the odometer etc readings stayed lit for 48 hours after removing the key resulting in a discharged battery. Battery charged, car now running again and warning lights, trip computer and odometer lights now apparently behaving normally. However, there obviously is a problem so would appreciate any advice as to where to start looking. I might add the plenum is dry. |

I would check boot, spare wheel well,floors etc for water... also check FBH if you have one and under bonnet connectors for corrosion or water...

Otherwise all electrics believed to be in good order and dry - there's a lot to check! I do have a PScan unit not yet initialised, might this identify a fault code which could help to pinpoint the issue? FBH ? Can't think what the acronym is for |
