Afternoon all you wonderful Z'ers!
I am back and asking for some help .... again. RCZ 2011 GT (pop up display)
A few weeks back my phone stopped connecting to the car... a bit annoying but didn't get round to doing anything about it (standard daily drive for me around 20 min each way) as I thought that as my phone is old it could be that. In hindsight, back in July on a longer journey after around 40mins the system would shut down (screen close the whole works) and I would lose the radio station and the sat nav.... this happened every 20 mins of so (usually right at the point of needing the nav!)
Any way... Drove the car on Sat = radio / screen worked
Went to move my car Sunday pm.... nothing! The whole car totally dead. Managed to jump it. Coming from the centre console was a faint thick sounding ticking noise. Ticking quite fast. Took the car on a drive and had no radio / screen. Radio came back after about 10 mins. No lights on centre console but the air con works!
Monday morning. Dead car... not as dead as Sunday pm, but not enough to start. Jump started it. Noticed same faint, thick sounding ticking noise; ticking about half as fast as Sunday. No radio / screen. The screen does open when you press the button, but nothing on it.... but then it has a meltdown and goes half down and half up before closing.
Battery been fine since - radio hit n miss... ticking noise occasionally.
Relay?
