Guest pbemtb Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 every few minutes when my 2004 c8 is at rest the main display lights up with economy mode active, the steering wheel display illuminates the traction control and airbag deactivation lights + others. There is a whirring noise from the main dash area and then everything turns off again. Anyone got any ideas ? if i had any idea about this i would know what to search for. thanks in advance Quote

What should the nominal at rest battery voltage be ?? the voltage shud be aound 12 volts, but make sure you let the car stand for 3 minuets. make sure that the keys are out of the ignition and the doors are all closed so all the systems shut down, its quite normal on c8 for this to happen ive seen it many times on mine when the car goes into eco mode Quote
