FTO AUSTRALIA

hi all im from the uk and a member of the uk fto oc. the thing is no ones seems to know whats wrong with my car. So i thought i would ask on here .....ok the car has been stood a week but was fine the last time i was in it. i got into it this week and some things are not working. Eg the stereo the interea lights, the clock and the alarm.they are just dead, the car is runing ok but these things seem to have stoped working. i have been through the 2 fuses boxes and cant find any that have blown ... when i try and arm the alarm all i get is a continuous bleep sound. the alarm will not arm i have to shut it off.. has any one had this happen to them ???? any help would be g8
thanks again

maybe your battery is dead? or your terminals are dirty?

car starts very strong .... terminals are like new. well the car is like new lol no rust or muck at all ......

Are those items on the same fuse?. I know you have checked the fuses for breaks visually. Have you checked with a multimetre. Sometimes they can be stuffed but hard to see. The other thing you could try is removing the stereo, testing the plug and seeing if it is getting power from the back (one or more of the wires should be live (12v) when acc turned on). If youre not getting power, trace back to the fuse box and test the connectors for power - you should be getting 12V there too.

Hope this helps....

It sounds like a fuse issue to me. It's possible your fuse is still intact but has a very high resistance, it's unlikely but it can happen. Either way replace the fuse and see what happens.

have done all of this but still have the problem. 4 ppl have looked at the car now and tezsted all the fuses with no luck. still have the problem a month l8er
