Hi thanks no the garmin device is still plugged into the plug socket I've just hidden the wires and just had a mechanic come and his equipment wouldn't read it and the hazard lights came on he has checked it over only thing he can think is ecu |

When I had my parrot kit fitted by Hellfrauds, he declared it fitted, I turned the ignition on and the hazards starting flashing, warning lights on dash (but not as many as yours, and only had the TR not available warning)

Check the connectors in the passenger footwell. Passengers can accidently disturb them with their feet. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice. |

If it's as simple as an earth issue can an jump lead be used as a test? I.e jump lead onto negative battery terminal then other end onto a suitable place on the engine? Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Yes I have tried that with a jump lead it doesn't make any difference once connected to the gear box then again onto the chassis |

Have you tried fully disconnecting the battery, leaving it overnight and then reconnecting? i.e. Effectively "rebooting" the car?

I have tried disconnecting it for an hour an hour with the two leads touching maybe worth leaving it overnight thanks |

Hi, I've replied on the other thread, our car had the same symptoms , then got worse after it was " checked " turned out , after getting to trusted Indy, to be a blown fuse .

Its in the passenger footwell behind carpet and glovebox. Glovebox clips out to allow better access, there is a retaining clip top left then it pulls out of hinge points for removal. 2014 SE Loire Blue SD4 Auto (MY15)
