"Electronic Fault" 2005 1.5DCI hatch
Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2018 1:09 pm
Hi all,
Im new to the game, I purchased the 2005 Megane a month or so ago for €400 for a cheap run around. Really impressed with the car so far, really confy and not a bad driving experience for the money.
Anyway, I knew the car came with a few issues which I was expecting and while trying to fix one of these issues (the rear wiper not working) all of a sudden after removing a relay in the glove box my dash displayed "ELECTRONIC FAULT" and the following issues began :
--> Hot/cold fan stopped working in the cabin
--> lights in the centre console around the fan AC etc stopped working
--> Speedo stopped working (rev counter still works)
--> Break lights stopped working (rear parkers still work)
--> Have to press the stop button 4-5 times to stop the car
--> Dip lights are always on while driving even when its light outside and I have the lights turned off
The car still drives ok and I have read up on the electronic fault where the car refuses to start and it could be an issue with the connectors / earths in the fuse box. Do you think that is my issue or is it connected to something I did in the glove box of the car?
I have tried disconnecting the battery for a few hours but problem persists.
Any help greatly appreciated.
