He lads
A few problems with my 2003 1.4 Megane today.
Tried to start this morning but "electronic fault" message was displayed and would not start. Checked the battery and it was flat, so I jump started. Checked the charging voltage and was happy with the 14V.
As the car was running all sorts of crazy things started to happen, the temperature gauge stopped working, the rev counter stopped working, the wipers started even though they were switched off, the steering was stiff, the airbag light flashed a few times and the cooling fan was cutting in and out every few seconds.
Stopped the car to check fuses connection etc and found that the fuse board located beside the battery had water ingress with a few corroded connections. I removed the board, dried it and cleaned the connection as best I could.
When I reinstalled it the car started no problem and I took it for a test drive with no issue.
However when I stopped the car and tried to start it again I got a "steering not locked " message, and now the car won t start at all.
Can anyone help, I'm pulling my hair out here.
Thanks
