Intermittent starting/electrical issue
« on: 18 September 2017, 22:46 »
Hello everyone. I had an incident last week, whilst driving home my car to screen froze and whilst stopped at the lights I decided to turn the car off to restart my screen to then find out that I couldn't restart my car!! (Screen restarted though!!!). I managed to get a kind driver to jump start my vehicle however all the lights were dim and didn't fully come on until after a couple of minutes of driving. Intermittently now whilst driving tha abs light, airbag light and ESP light will come on and the lights will start flashing/go dim like before. Could the screen be the reason or any other issue I should look for?

Sounds like you have a voltage problem, battery probably quite flat (age??) and possibly alternator faulty (worn regulator).
What engine, mileage, etc?
