No power at ignition

Post by doml4 »

Hi Everyone, just had strange thing happen with my 2014 1.0 ECO Boost fiesta. Opened car with remote, all fine, put key in ignition and turned key to first position, all fine but, soon as turned to start car all light on dash went out. Now absolutly no power what so ever, can't even lock car with remote.
no idea what could have caused this, was driving today and car had no issues.
would this be the ingnition fuse R1 causing issue, is it known that they can fail like this?

thanks i advance for any light that can shed on this, totally baffled.

Dominic.

Okay, think i found issue: Decided to test with mulitmeter incase battery had failed, voltage 13.4 so okay. However, noticed all terminals covered in white deposit. Disconnected battery and gave quick clean with wire wool. re-connected back up and, hey presto, started as normal.
