hey, wat a cool site!!!! so i own a 2002 clio 1.4 16v, great car, no probs, up until now!!!!
the red light inbetween the 'stop' and 'serv' lights starts flashing( while the car is on and running) none of the cars electronics work( window winders, indicators, windscreen wipers). BUT if i disconect the positive terminal on the battery, leave the car for 10min or so and connect everything up again, its all okay!! (FOR A WHILE THAT IS) and then does it again!!!
pls can someone help me!!!!

Hi and welcome,all i can suggest is to check that you have got good tight battery connections as well as the earthing strap at both ends are good and tight also and see how it goes from there, i hope this helps Donald.

Hi Audiopipe - obviously with your sound system your battery gets a lot of work - have you had the battery load tested - could be a duff cell which gets a chance to recover when disconnected - also may be worth getting the alternator output checked.:)
