  • Ford Fiesta - Lose all electrical power, suddenly comes back 26 Feb 2024 (Forum)
    Just over a week ago I came back to my car (Fiesta mk7 09 1.4 tdci ~50k miles) to find the remote fob not working to unlock the car. Assumed the fob battery had died, so unlocked manually via the key. Got in the car, realised there was absolutely no electrical power, completely dead, no dashboard/interior lights, turning key in ignition did nothing. Assumed the battery had randomly died.

  • Rover 25 2003 1.6 - clock resets itself ,door alarm,alternator belt 1 Jul 2014 (Forum)
    Thanks for all the help on my other posts , some of the advice has led to my car problems being fixed.I got a few minor problems below: Problem 1 I noticed ever since I purchased the vehicle the clock on the dash resets itself to 12.00 when engine is shut off. The current battery in the car is old may even be the original battery as it looks old and rusted and testing it using a volt meter gives a 12.4 reading with ignition off in the morning .two garages did free battery tests using their advanced devices and they both said it is on its way out, hence I will be replacing this battery.The trip which shows the journey mileage does not reset it self like the clock when engine is switched off. does anyone have any ideas whether it is the battery causing the clock to reset itself or something else like a fuse or something?
