Any help gratefully recieved

Electrical issues I believe,certainly not the nut behind the wheel this time. I seem to have lost reverse lights,all clocks on dash and no dashboard lights when ignition on. They come on dim when engine running except the battery light which is either bright or flashing with the trip display. Auto gearbox has gone into limp mode. A thud when reverse engaged and pulls off in third in drive. Also when in reverse or drive the wipers come on ad the beeper for lights on warning comes on. All problems came at once when I got in to leave a friends house just now. It's bloody stumped me!

Thanks

Sorry I don't have anything more constructive to add.  It sounds like it's gone wrong in several very French ways.

Bad earth somewhere?

Loose battery terminal

'tronic faults - often a bastard, sometimes surprisingly simple. Check the simple stuff first.....battery voltage when stopped and when running. Check for loose earths and battery terminals as stated above. If that doesnt work, bridge it.

Right then folks panic averted and the issue sorted. 1 10 amp fuse blown causing a multitude of issues.

[bub2006]

Have you ever considered changing your username to 'Lucky'?

[barefoot]

Can I just ask which fuse caused all that fucking mayhem?

[bub2006]

Fuse 29 I think. Thought about it billy!

[Skizzer]

29 fuses? No wonder modern cars keep falling over.

29 fuses? No wonder modern cars keep falling over.

1-28 are probably empty slots,with everything running through 29.......

[bub2006]

There is a fair few fuses on this with relays inside the car then some more under bonnet.

[richardmorris]

I like a good panic with an easy solution. Now you just have to find out why the fuse blew!

[bub2006]

Fuse looked about 25 year old which is impressive considering car is 17. Can't find no obvious reason as of yet. Maybe it just decided it didn't want to play ball

[chaseracer]

Above all, it's a Citroen.

[bub2006]

No its not,this happened in the vectra
