Technical Intermittent Electrics,

[Firemaker]

Hi all
have a Fiat Scudo 1.6 Panel Van on an 07 plate, sometimes when trying to start it just clicks, then all electrics go off, slam door and they all come back on again, but display reverts to French, put new battery in but still same intermittently, sometimes works, sometimes dont, got to slam door to make it live again whats going on ?

Hi

Sounds like its worth opening the rubber boot on the door hinge, not unheard of to see fractured wires

Always worth changing the Battery to Gearbox cable as well that's the main earth connection, and they can rot internally
