406 is dead !!

Post by bombhead »

Hiya, I have a Y reg 406 2.0 HDI 90. It was working perfectly fine a few days ago and I went to start it yesterday and got Engine Immobiliser fault and ABS fault. I also have no radio or lights or basically any electrics (and the dash lights are very faint). The past few weeks all I've done is quick 1 mile journeys. Could a dead battery be the cause of this ?

I'd go for the battery first!

When my battery was going flat I had the "Imobiliser fault" come up on mine.
