Exclamation inertia switch failure

Rover 75 cdti 131CV
good morning everyone from Spain.
I have a wonderful 75 cdti rover but
A few days ago the car was working perfectly with the air conditioning on, smoke began to come out from the central side of the passenger, the fault of the inertia switch jumped and the car stopped.
I have reset the switch and changed it for another and it remains the same.
has stopped working:
the windows
central locking
the movement of the seats
the air conditioning gives an error f12
the interior fan and the motor fan do not jump.
obd connector
If you can help me I appreciate it in advance

thank you very much

buenos días a todos desde España.
tengo un maravilloso rover 75 cdti pero
hace unos días el coche funcionando perfectamente con el aire acondicionado puesto , empezó a salir humo de la parte lateral central del copiloto , salto el fallo de interruptor de inercia y se paró el coche.
He rearmado el interruptor y lo he cambiado por otro y sigue igual .
ha dejado de funcionar:
las ventanillas
el cierre centralizado
el movimiento de los asientos
el aire acondicionado da un error f12
no salta el ventilador interior ni el del motor.
conector obd
si pueden ayudarme se lo agradezco por adelantado

muchas gracias
I cannot help, but I hope a translation (via Chrome browser) will help expedite responses.

With such a range of issues i would be thinking your ECU has gone for a swim - you need to inspect the ECU in the Plenum chamber - as you have a diesel they are prone to water damage if your plenum drain gets blocked as they are unsealed. Worth a check.

Thanks for your answer, the ecu is dry, it has no accumulated water or anything, what I do not understand about the smoke where it came from, the closest thing is the air conditioning.

Did the smoke smell of anything - fuel/coolant etc or was it more like steam?

good evening
The smoke seemed to me to smell like plastic wiring, but I have checked the ones that are on that side and they are fine or they are from the air conditioning part or they are stuck through the dashboard and I cannot see,
I would need the wiring plans to check the tips, I do not know if they will be in this forum.

Lift out the underbonnet fusebox and have a look for damaged wiring.

good evening
I have removed the fuse box but the cables are fine, what I have verified is that the fan relay does not have current, but I do not know if it is because the inertia switch fails that cuts current or is it because they are cut.

Get a RAVE disc from Rimmers - 15 Euros including postage - has all the wiring diagrams for the 75/ZT as well as all the servicing guides.
