C3 Clock Resetting And C/locking Probs

[Guest powermole]

I have just took a gamble and bought a c3 pluriel with some probs and was hoping someone could offer some advice

it has 4 problems that I have found to date

1, keyfob will not pair with car, have tried several times following the tutorial on this site

2, clock resets everytime ignition is turned off

3, a somewhat amusing bodge from last owner, the wipers have been diverted to an on/off switch (live straight from fuse box) bypassing stork, all other controls work, washers, audio, display mode etc...

4, electronic boot button only works when key is in the ignition in the on position

This is my first c3 and im not very well informed on this cars quirks

If anyone could offer info on any of the above problems I would be forever grateful

I have been thinking maybe a continues live problem?

Could all be a problem with the comms 2000 unit, the combined wiper/indicators/etc unit under the steering wheel - probably £200-300 fitted at a dealer and the last owner did not want to spend on a proper repair. I think the receiver for the key fob is in this unit also. May also additionally be a problem with the ignition switch although the quick loss of power that causes the clock to reset when starting has also occasionally happened on our C3 and C4 but also worth checking the car battery is 12.5 volts and not flat. Last owner may have also bodged the electrics to the clock.

 

The Haynes C3 manual may apply to a lot of the car but I am not sure.
