Hi All
A new member looking for a bit of guidance please if anyone can help much appreciated. I have owned my 2016 1.4 auto Renegade for over 3 years and love it (well up to a couple weeks ago I did 😁) Out of the blue driving along, check air bag light comes on, then fuel auto shut off unavailable came on further down the road. Still drove perfectly, We thought it was a bit random but as we were going away soon didn’t look into it at the time. However, couple days later upon starting I had multiple warning beeps and lights, but it still drove fine. After searching the forum noticed battery/earth issues were quite common so decided to get a new one on our return.
started vehicle upon our return to go and get a new battery and found a vehicle possessed, practically every warning light available flashed, a continuous beep that doesn’t go off, theauto box lit up like a Xmas tree and the electronic handbrake had a mind of its own, when we did manage to select a gear it went into limp mode and hardly moved across the drive. We removed battery, which appeared to be the original and got a new decent one in the hope it would be a magic cure, and when fitting it cleaned up the earth strap just to make sure, all fitted and no difference whatsoever.
we have booked it in to local Jeep dealer next Friday (if we can manage to limp it down there) but wondered if anyone on here had a similar experience and suggestions that we can tell them to look out for in the hope we do not have to pay hours and hours of investigation at dealer prices and get no where. We assume all thosewarnings will be listed as errors so no doubt cost us a few hours for them to scroll through that lot.
thanks in advance for any help.
