Title: Problems after Replacing battery
Post by lmortiss on Nov 24^th, 2004, 5:20pm

I had to replace the Battery on my 2ltr Auto Scorpio 1995 (German Built) and then little niggles have occured
Firstly the Intermittant Windscreen wiper did not function So I bought a set of Relays from a breakers and i even replaced the Stalk but still no joy I have checked the fuses ie No36 and 16 but they are AOK
but the normal windscreen wipers functio ok inc screenwash.
Now i have noticed as well that when you leave the car with the lights on a warning noise would tell you similar to leaving the car in Normal instead of Park.
Is there anyway i can get this back to normal or should i just run it as it is.

cheers

Try a hard reset... Disconnect the battery again and see if things revert to normal...... Very strange though.... Check some of the other fuses the timer module fuse may have gone try fuse no 7

HiYa
I presume the No 7 is AOK as the normal Windscreen wipers work and also the Window washers sprays as well.
Ill try reboot it as you have said should I discontect the two leads Pos and Neg, or just one of them.and when i reconnect just start up as normal thro ignition.
let me know.

manythanks

Lloyd,

Just the earth lead will do it. Leave it at least 5 minutes (thinks, well that's what I do - must have read it on here somewhere ???)

Cheers,
Dave

Your a star! I did not disconnect the Battery I rechecked all the relevent Fuses inc the No 7 and a few were ot seated correctley so when i came to restart the engine the Clocks went all funny then Wow the Intermittant now works fine.

Merry Xmas and a very Prosperous New Year.
