Last update I replaced the fuse box and the wire that appeared to be corroded. Did not make a blind bit of difference. Same issue, car still not starting. I've now sold the car.

Anyone know, on a Clio under bonnet fuse box, what this plug hole controls, it's a 12pin connector (highlighted in yellow see attached pic) one of the wires on the connector is corroded, I am curious to know what this controls on the car.

Did clean it. Same none starting issue. Hasn't made a blind bit of difference.

Jesus! That makes mine look like nothing! I'm wondering weather mine warrants buying a new fuse box or not.....

Ok, an update. I've had the under bonnet fuse box off and stripped it down and found the following corrosion. Does anyone think this could be the root of all my problems? I couldn't go any further into the circuit as it felt like the white plastic was gonna snap, but surely the green...

Where is this relay box located?

UPDATE - had it back from the garage - STILL NOT STARTING. He had it on the CLIP device and said "Every electrical component except the instrument cluster is reporting errors - he said under the bonnet in particular he is getting en error code from the Throttle Position sensor that "will not...

Yes mate, did a continuity test on a the circuits all came back good.

Update - stripped all engine bay loom all the way from the battery box to every engine and ancillary connector . Not a single broken or even remotely corroded wire. I want to set fire to the car. Will this make it run? Can you tell it's driving me insane!? A last ditch plea, to anyone, in the...

Any idea where I could pin point that power/earth issue?

Lol so you reckon it COULD be a possibility?

I really don't know. I'm assuming it's ok as the key appears to be recognised by the way the imobbiliser light is behaving? Is the decoder ring susceptible to damage when replacing a batter as that's the only thing I can think of that would have interfered with it. I didn't do any internal work...

Agreed, but I don't have access to one. Like I said earlier, I will gladly pay anyone whose in the Leeds area to come and plug their CLIP into the car and just try and see what the issue is, am not asking you to fix it, just find the issue and I'll sort it. Plleeeeaaaseee 8'-(

I didn't disturb it during the initial head work, but during all this investigation yes I've been into it, checked all the fuses and relays and reseated them and even swapped some relays around all resulting in the same issue. Next job is to start stripping the loom. There was a set of coil...

Have you looked at the starting and charging circuit diagram ? Nope - if you can get me one i'll try and fathom it....8-) Is the plug into the throttle body on ? Yes - 100% Is the plug into the accelerator pedal on ? Im gonna say yes, because when i have the Air Intake pipe off the throttle body...

Cheers for the suggestions by the way. just been and tried what you said, i opened the key removed the circuit board - put the key in the ignition (without the board anywhere near the ignition) sure enough the immobiliser light started flashing really quick (not authorised) - car obviously...

Just been and done this Left key in at position 2 - Solid Red Light Turned it off - flashing 1 sec sequenece as before turned it back to position 2 - Solid RED Turned to start - Solid RED

Ok here's what happens Unlock car Key not in ignition = light flashing at roughly 1 second intervals Key in ignition = same 1 second interval flash Turn to position 1 = same 1 second interval Turn to position 2 = solid red (+1 beep from dash) Turn to position 3 = solid red (no beeps) Dash...

I shall clarify that shortly when I get home. I've been turning it straight to start position and I can tell you that in The start position (click 3 if you like) the light is solid red, it's also in that position that I get the 1 second beep

I believe they are coded, and electrics are not my thing. Don't have a spare to test am afraid.

Yes mate, tried primary and spare key, both do the same. Unlocks car, turns to start position, das lights up, nothing else.

That's the problem, it's not reporting any error codes. My mate checked it with his odbc scanner thing. Nothing reporting at all error wise. I've tried all the battery tricks, leaving it off for half hour, putting it back on. Doing the same again with the key at position 2. Holding the buttons...

I can't think that there is. I literally plugged everything back in that I unplugged. I can hear the fuel pump priming when I turn the key. And I've ran a straight 12v to the starter motor, it turned the engine over fine but when I check the spark there was no spark either so I'm worried...

Yes mate, checked all earth's that I can see, the one going to the chassis around the battery box and the one that connects to the gearbox, all solid cables no signs of flex or splits. And were never touched during the strip down/rebuild. Are there any other earth's that I have missed ?

Hi all, I come to you at the end of my teather so please excuse the abrupt nature of this post. I bought a 2006 Clio recently 1.4 16v it was cheap as it needed the head gasket doing. Not a problem, it started and drove and didn't boil up so I bought it and replaced the head gasket, timing belt...

Re: Brought a car then sold the car - How much have you lost? i could go on all day here. 1991 MR2 - Bought for £890 - owned for 12 months - owed me £2500 after mods etc - sold for £1220 Impreza Sport 1998 - Bought for £1500 - owned for 12 months, owed me around £2300 after mods - sold for...

Bought as seen....end of. if as a buyer you fail to check the basics - Logbook v's chassis/engine numbers - vin plates etc - then you buy at your peril nothing will come of this i can guarantee you. you just learnd the hard way

FIXED!! pulled the system out today, looked at it and saw the 2 least important wires - Blue (electric ariel) and Orange (illumination) so, i cut the blue wire....same problem So, i cut the orange wire!....BINGO stereo works now with the lights off and on! - how wierd! the stereo is...
