Hi All. My wife's car has developed some electrical gremlins this evening...

Interior fan and ac not on
central locking failed
Fog light failed

It's a 2005 Colt 1.1

A google search reveals the same fault from someone else, but there is no definitive answer. I'm hoping that it will be as simple as a fuse but it's too dark to check now.

Anyone else come across this?

Problem located!

There is a module bolted to the positive terminal of the battery that contains fuse links. One of these was corroded and has blown. Trouble is, it seems that I have to replace the whole module.

Next a trip to Mitsubishi parts.

As you can see it was a few years ago, and I was lucky to have a Mitsubishi parts center near by. I think the plastic unit that bolted on to the battery was about £30.
