Dear All
I have an '06 2ltr Hdi forestry van. The other day I parked up took the key out of the ignition and noticed the battery light was still illuminated and c/locking wouldnt work. Went back after an hour and got in van and it had gone into ecomode (battery light off as well) despite nothing being left on or key in ignition. This has persisted for a few days now and despite doing a BSI reset it doesnt clear. Also noticed that the window switches on the console stay lit when the engine stops and key removed (hence the ecomode I guess). I dont think my BSI reset will work properly because when I reconnect the battery the window switches are lit and the battery light back on. Ive tried leaving the battery disconnected for over an hour before doing a reset but to no avail. Sounds like I need a new BSI but before I do this is there anything else I could try? The central locking works if I press the internal lock switch on the centre console and also if I manually lock the drivers door with the key. The keyfob battery is new too. Should also mention that the battery light goes out as soon as the van is started. Van is running fine too but just worried if this battery and c/locking issue is the start of bigger problems.
