I reckon you've got us stumped :( I've been thinking about this all day, I looked on the diagrams but there are no common circuits or fuses. However, all are directly or indirectly linked with the BSI. None are multiplexed, as such, but they do link to things that are. I also remember someone a few years back got water into their sat nav unit and this produced a whole host of weird problems. SO what I'm going to suggest is you check the sat nav and cd changer for dampness, It might also be worth checking the footwell connectors viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13347 Not that any of these circuits run through here but you never know...

Does everything else on the car work ok?

Yeah, sounds like something on the van bus might be misbehaving, but the radio losing its memory is surely a symptom of it missing the permanent 12v supply. I'd check that first
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Hmm, an executive without a sat nav?

It does indeed sound like a blown fuse but the OP checked them (in his other thread :frown:) I would say though, that blown fuses don't always look blown... Trouble is, they all (appear) to be on different fuses.

The BSI is the car's cpu, your car is multiplexed and this is the "brains" of the outfit. The idea is, as there are more and more gadgets fitted to cars, to limit the number of wires everything is joined onto the same 3 wires and stuff gets turned on and off or whatever by data coming down the line with their number on it. It's a great idea, sadly the application isn't so hot.

Your BSI is located above & behind the passenger compartment fuse panel. It has 5 fuses across the front of it...

FWIW, my last exec didn't have one either, (this one does, not that it works). :roll:
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
