Hi All,
Hoping you can help.
Firstly Apologies if this has been discussed previously (couldn't find anything on this precise issue)
To start Vehicle is an 04 plate Stilo 1.9jtd 115
a short while ago i started having the occasional issue of the multi function display resetting itself as if the battery had been connected. this would normally happen overnight or when the car was left sat for a short while.
When this happens all info (MPG, Clock etc) was reset.
More recently i would find whilst driving that the dash would randomly appear to almost reboot itself. i.e. driving down the road dials would all drop and the startup checks would be performed again.
During this process the vehicle would perform normally and no other electrical equipment appeared to be affected.
Move on to last week and things get even worse :bang:
The above random reboots of the dash started happening more frequently (several times in a single trip, and once 3 times before i got to the end of the road) then all of a sudden the dash stops working entirely. SO this is where we stand now.
Without the key even close to the car the dash shows as follows:
2 indicator lights displaying constantly (not flashing)
Sidelight interior light constantly displaying
Headlight interior light constantly displaying
Multi function display constantly lit (with no information on it)
When the key is in the ignition and car is running:
As above with Stability warning light On
No Dials work at all when running and the dashboard does not light up when the lights are on.
Quick fit advised it was probably not a battery issue and was more likely an electrical problem which they wouldn't touch with a barge pole.
2 other garages decided they were too busy to look at it even and game me quotes of up to £48 p/h to look into the problem that they don't know for sure what it is.
So i am really hoping someone here has some form of shred of an idea WTF has happened.
Not really what i needed to happen christmas week, whilst trying to move and with 300 miles worth of driving needed over the next 7 days.
If any of you guys have any ideas, suggestions or need some more info please please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
