Weird Faults!!

Post by Mowerman51 » Mon Oct 26, 2020 7:57 am

Car starts and drives fine but after 10 minutes or so the following occurs;
dashboard display starts shutting down - time & ext temp replaced by dashes
radio display goes off
sat display goes off
central locking then activates
interior lights come on permanently
hazards start flashing and will not turn off

These all happen in the sequence above. Turning off the ignition stops the hazards and getting out and locking/unlocking the car works fine. Upon restarting it`s ok for 10 minutes or so then the above sequence starts again. Breakdown co attended and could find no fault codes! I`ll get my Gap back later today and will go thru that. In the meantime any obvious places to start looking, battery? alternator? Thanks

No idea - codes are the only way to find these faults.

But battery and alternator do sound like likely culprits. Low voltages do cause issues.

Good luck!
