Hi

2007 Scudo 2.0 140 multijet
My van appears to be possessed. While driving everything randomly turns on and off radio, air con, all senor lights on the dash all the dials move randomly (Rev Speedo fuel and temp gauge)
But still drive normally while happening
Same also happens when van is stopped and keys are out of the ignition
It is running in economy mode now
Any ideas

Check alternator output. Your alternator regulator may be on its way out. Mine had similar symptoms just before it died.

even when keys are out..??, :confused:
sounds like a poor earth, or dodgy ign.lock connections to me..??, :idea:

EDIT, if disturbing the connection around alternator..then retightening helped, then do those and battery terminals 1st,

I had a very similar issue.

Remove your battery and inspect the bay for water contamination. In my case, there was water contamination - which fouled fuses and relays. Clean up the battery terminals, then pull and inspect your fuses and relays.

If you find any scum, water contamination or rust - clean it up and properly protect/seal it.

This has pretty much fixed my problem.
