I came to my car the other day and randomly it wouldn't start. I thought the battery was flat because the central locking wasn't working but it turned over just fine without firing. Oddly the odometer was totally blank and the clock was flashing all funny characters.
Turns out Fuse 6 (phase 3) had popped.
Cure, unplug the alarm siren that I've never heard anyway. To get to it I turned the wheel all the way to the left and took a look at the wheel arch liner. There are two allen (poss torx) screws at the bottom but mine were rusted completely so I had to pry the plastic with a screwdriver to loosen the bottom. With those loose I managed to force the liner towards the drivers side where it meets the front of the passenger wing. Bending the plastic I managed to get a hand in to unclip the siren. New fuse and all is well again!
No idea how this is happening but I need to get a new alarm siren now. Anyone any ideas on that?
Hope this helps someone in the future.
