Vauxhall Astra electrical issue
Variant: 1.6 Design (Petrol)
Model Year: 2008
Categories:
Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
My car dashboard lights flash on intermittently ( spanner symbol, sometimes batter symbol, sometimes ABS symbol). Spanner one stays on constantly. It sometimes doesn't start at all, just a clicking noise when turning it over. Had RAC out 3 times, they told me to replace a corroded relay, which I did, then issue came back weeks later. Last one said it must be an electrical issue, as battery and alternator seem ok? He fixed it temporarily by disconnecting battery, leaving it 10 minutes then re-connecting, and it started. Do I need an auto electrician to look at it? If so, shall I take to a Vauxhall garage? Any other ideas would be most appreciated.
