05 1.6 help needed on electrical fault - carlwest
i recently bought a c4 that didnt have a radio in it and when trying to wire up another standard one i bought its caused all saughts of problems. the car wipers come on for no reason , it wont start sometimes wont even turn over , the lights came on for no reason then did'nt work at all and the display screen on the dash lights up for a second then goes out and sometimes doe'nt come on at all what have i done !!

i do notice when i turn the key theres a relay in the fuse box that clicks on and off , i am stuck ,

hopefully someone may be able to shine some light on to this problem please !!

cheers carl

just to add , before today and the obove fault occured i have noticed when turning the key it would take a little time for the screen to light up and the car to turn over, i have read a few threads on here and some were pointing to a loose connection from battery to main fuse box in engine bay !!
