Hi all
we have a great 2005 cmax with 72,000 miles, service history, zetec diesel.
We broke down last Friday when the battery light came on and 10 mins later the abs light came on then all the gagese went to max and down to zero, at the same time the steering went very heavy shortyl followed by a complete shutdown.
When I turned the key it was completely dead, no ignition lights at all.
Ford took us to their nearby garage and diagnosed a faulty battery which they replaced on Saturday.
Came to the car this morning and the battery light was on again, followed by the abs light so we stopped at the end of the drive and put it back by the garage.
Ford came out and when he tried to drive it on the breakdown truck there was nothing - completely dead again.
I just called the garage and they tell me they think it was a faulty battery and are waiting for a new one to try.
It just doesn't sound right to me, a coincidence that a replacement battery would have exaclty the same fault - what are the chances of that !!??
Is there a known problem that Alan Myerscough Ford of Ulverston don't know about ??
thanks
Russell
