Admin Ollie Posted April 27, 2014 Admin Share Posted April 27, 2014 hi steve welcome to cabriolet club I take it the new battery is new not second hand new could be something simple with the heater have you been trying the power hood with ignition switch on first turn of the key let us no how you get on regards ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuDaBear Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 If your new battery is ok I would be looking at the main live and earth leads and their connections, starter motor could also be past its best. When you say heater so you mean the blower is not working or the heater produces no heat? Regarding the hood, as Ollie says, does it work with key on first click?

Admin Ollie Posted April 27, 2014 Admin Share Posted April 27, 2014 no probs steve easy mistake the heater could be easy fix like fuse or the heater control inside .or worst case is the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian71 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Does the engine turn over with the new battery,or just dead ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pantherman Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Steve - Starting problem could be faulty s/motor. A simple test that sometimes works is get someone to turn ignition key while you give the s/motor a sharp tap with a bar or something you can reach it with. If the engine turns over its a good bet that the s/motors faulty. As for the heater, it could just be a fuse or even a faulty fuse box, specially if you find anything else electrical not working.
