Hi there, am having a bit of bother with the Felicia, started perfectly at work last night, got home no bother. Went back out to the car to head out again, turned the key and the electrics went completely dead, starter motor wasn't even turning...Definitely not the battery as all the lights were as bright as normal etc... Then after that a loud clicking noise was coming from the fuse box, and the radio was turning itself on randomly all night

Any help/advice greatly appreciated

It might be something like a bad earth somewhere, so check the connections... Otherwise it could be an immobiliser issue, which may not be so easy to fix, I'm afraid... (Although that wouldn't explain the radio???)

"and the radio would turn itself on. No amount of turning the ignition would get any life out of the ignition."

i expect the ignition switch is stuffed

hth

If it was the ignition switch would that cause other electrical problems with the radio etc tho?

Might try just replacing the battery as someone did in the previous thread, the battery was flat a few months ago by my own fault but since then nothing's been wrong, maybe just the starter motor taking an extra half second or 2 recently...

water in the fuse box!

Got her started with a booster pack last night, drove it to the skoda garage no problem..tried turning off and starting when i got there, same thing again, looks like just a new battery needed...
