Hi all
S-max MK1 2014
2.0 TDCI 140hp, manual 6 gears
Convers+, xenon, navi plus, electrically foldable side mirrors and electrically adjustable front seats.
Problem:
Certain components (all lights, side windows, screenwipers, airco) are only receiving power intermittently at a frequency of about 1Hz.
The dashboard is also going crazy e.g. fuel sensor suddenly not detecting fuel; the clock can suddenly jump a few hours into the future and then it returns to the correct time after a few seconds.
What I've tried:
- official Ford dealer visit. Car stayed there for a week, of course the problem suddenly didn't occur while it was there, so they just sent me home again after taking my money.
- an independent mechanic locally referred to as a "Ford expert" didn't want to even look at it cause he had no clue at all.
- many hours of searching the web for similar problems
- removed and checked battery (what an enjoyable job on this car!). This can't be the issue as the problem even occurs right after charging the battery.
- checked all fuses.
Can anybody point me into the right direction? I'm getting a little desperate after a month. I can't really use the car on public roads like this.
Any help greatly appreciated!
