NB electrical gremlins

Postby ntranced » Fri Oct 02, 2015 7:53 pm

Got some weird electrical issues with the car, it starts off with a dead interior light, I went to pull it out today to replace, turns out the bulb is fine. Then all of a sudden the following happens:

1. Remote stops working
2. Car radio stops working
3. Trip computer resets every time the ignition is off

Anything that could link the 3?

Headlights, aircon, indicators, central locking all still work, car starts and stops fine as well. What gives?

Dodgy battery?

Loose earth leads?

Lunar gravity?

Combo of all three above?

Interior fuse ok?
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
