Evening all

Not been back on here for a very long time but hoping someone can
Help me.

I bought a 5.0 supercharged 16 plate. Within a week I got all the lights on the dash , heavy steering , abs , suspension faults , ebc faults literally everything

I have went searching for faults but can’t see anything glaring. Tonight I took it in the garage and checked fuses and unplugged the connectors around the car to check for water ingress all was fine

Came to restart the car to move it and it’s dead. Won’t start.

It is bizarre though that if you put your foot on the brake the lights on the dash come on but release the brake pedal and the car goes to sleep !

Anyone got any thoughts or experience on what this many be and if these cars a known area for failure , I thought body control module failure but I think I am clutching at straws

Sounds like earth strap behind wheel arch linings 2017 (67) Vogue SE Corinthian Grey

Are they both sides ? Or just one side

Thanks for the help

I would strongly suspect - It’s either this ^ ^ or your battery is goosed 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Changed battery. That was my first point of call.

So it must be something to do with these straps

Both sides. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Of course it is 😂😂😂

Both wheels off tomorrow then. Thanks everyone. I’ll update tomorrow on the outcome
Keep your fingers crossed for me !!!
