#1: Never noticed that before Author: Jodiegee, Location: West midlandsPosted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 8:57 am ---- Ok so I turn of my engine and the electrics still work, window wipers and electric windows, I've never noticed that before, I thought when you switch off the engine the electrics would turn off too, they have in other cars I've driven anyways.....
#2: Re: Never noticed that before Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 9:04 am ---- take out the key. think it will still let you do it for a little while then will shut off.
#3: Re: Never noticed that before Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 9:06 am ---- or until the door is open then shuts it off.
#4: Re: Never noticed that before Author: Jodiegee, Location: West midlandsPosted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 9:08 am ---- I will investigate next time I'm in my car.
#5: Re: Never noticed that before Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 9:12 am ---- What year is your car? I can turn mine 1 click and all the electrics work including windows and stereo, then its another click and another to start the engine.
Unless you mean you've taken the key out, in that case mine doesn't
#6: Re: Never noticed that before Author: Jodiegee, Location: West midlandsPosted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 9:13 am ---- It's a 2002, and yeah I mean I take out the key and they still work.
#7: Re: Never noticed that before Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 9:21 am ---- Hi Jodie,
What happened with this in the end? www.206info.co.uk/Foru...art=0.html
#8: Re: Never noticed that before Author: Jodiegee, Location: West midlandsPosted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 9:28 am ---- Hey yeah turns out it was the battery, I've actually had it changed today, so will see how it goes, most mornings for the past week or so it's struggled to start, so hopefully all should be fine now.
#9: Re: Never noticed that before Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 9:33 am ---- OK. Good luck.

#21: Re: Never noticed that before Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 12:33 pm ---- haha well is it behaving itself at the moment?!
Any mods lined up?
#22: Re: Never noticed that before Author: Jodiegee, Location: West midlandsPosted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 12:41 pm ---- Apart from battery troubles, and the front end of the exhaust falling off ( and likely to fall off again sometime in the future) it's all good haha.
And first of all I'm planning to get some Alloys on it, as it's on standard steels at the mo, then I don't know really haha

#30: Re: Never noticed that before Author: Jodiegee, Location: West midlandsPosted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 6:10 am ---- So I spoke to soon, car is completely dead after new battery went in yesterday. Great.
#31: Re: Never noticed that before Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 7:39 am ---- Oh dear
#32: Re: Never noticed that before Author: twed207, Location: borders, near carlisle.Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 7:47 am ---- as in nothing nothing? if you charge the battery, does it start?
the BSI may have been cooked if it wasnt shut down and started up properly agian.
#33: Re: Never noticed that before Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 7:47 am ---- Don't despair.
Check the earth strap (-ve lead) which bolts on to the transmition/chassis.
If it was already loose it could have finaly given-in when the battery
was disturbed while replacing.
#34: Re: Never noticed that before Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 8:04 am ---- could it be the alternator not charging it?
#35: Re: Never noticed that before Author: Jodiegee, Location: West midlandsPosted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 12:00 pm ---- Well my dad came to look at it while i was at work, and he started it just fine... so i have no idea what was going on when i came to start it earlier on in the day.
Also when i tried to start it and got nothing as i went to lock it, it wouldnt lock so had to lock it manually with the key, and the same again when i tried to open it again...
but as i say its starting fine again now.

Earth strap really worth checking in that case.

Thank you I will get on the case. Or my dad on the case that is haha.
#39: Re: Never noticed that before Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 3:56 pm ---- Get him to trace the negative lead coming from the battery to
where it joins onto the car transmition housing or chassis, and
make sure its bolted-on really tight.
#40: Re: Never noticed that before Author: Danny., Location: PeterboroughPosted: Fri Oct 08, 2010 1:59 am ---- there's not a ratterlig in the key is there?
If there is your Imboliser chip may have come out of place so you cant lock or start the car.
