  • Random electrical problems

    Hi,

    I recently bought 2009 Insignia, but random electrical problems keep appearing and disappearing. I pretty much had every single possible fault displayed in dashboard, but it goes away after few car resets. Been to two different places to do diagnostics: no faults found (apart from one bulb which apparently will go off soon).

    Faults I had: airbag service message, service afl lamp message, park assist service message, also I got once afl lamp adjustment problem light, once parking senssors did not stop beeping until car been locked for 1 minute or so, car started suddenly locking itself after 5 minutes of drive (usually it does not lock automatically), sometimes passenger side speaker starts making rattling sound.

    Any ideas why I'm keep getting these random electrical problems? Like I said I have not fixed anything because after some time problems just disappear and diagnostic tools cannot detect that anything been displayed.

    Any suggestion appreciated!

    Sounds like the battery might need replacing. Common to get a few electrical faults when it's on the way out. Get it tested

        my first thought would be to check the battery,
        i had some of those codes pop up when my battery was shagged.

          To repeat others suggestion, I'd say the battery has had it. I had similar problems until a few months ago, then I got a new Duracell battery from Euro Car Parts with a good discount & same day delivery for free too! Not had any problems since!
