My Sagaris is displaying Error code 144: Power Supply. The symptom is that the dashboard display remains on even when I remove the key! This resulted in a flat battery, but the problem returned once the battery was recharged. I have removed the dashboard ignition fuse, which turns off the display! Any ideas??

Hmm.. I`m not sure the dash would suck that much power, its only a few chip's in it - unless the whole engine ECU's are running.

I would recommend looking at the electrical system and making sure everything is in order, its possible that when the key is being removed power is still present and the dash is detecting the issue (i.e. some part's powered and some part's not)

Thanks Jim - I reckon you're right. I'll look at bit deeper. It got fairly damp in the recent rain before I got a cover over it, could be something to do with that do you think?

Carefully check dash ecu connections in footwell
Also try slowly switch between key positions, know fault.

Thanks for your help folks. Looks like an ECU problem - it's now been transported to Fernhurst for TLC.

I'm sorry to say that it's so long ago that I can't remember!
