Hi
I'm new to the forum - please be gentle!
I have a Berlingo mkII (2006) with a 1.6 Hdi (the more powerful one ~95 bhp I think). Car electrics started behaving oddly (random windscreen wipes) yesterday after heavy rain and a few deep puddles.
My wife tried to start car this morning - turnover but no firing. Dash instruments looking odd. Performed BSI reset ok, and wife went on her way. Whilst out and about, she parked car and upon returning had the same thing happen. I talked her through BSI reset and things ok again - she made it home ok but reported even more odd instrument behaviour (random wipers, no speedo, no indicators, etc).
I decided to remove BSI (per the battery disconnect instructions found elsewhere)to look for signs of water. Sure enough, when I held the BSI on its side a few drops dripped out. So I opened the BSI case, and removed electronics board (surprisingly easy). Dried it all out, reassembled and reinstalled in car. Followed BSI battery reconnect instructions.
Now, problem is worse because BSI reset sequence makes no difference. Can't start car or get sense from instruments panel.
Any hints greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Tom
