My seat alhambra has no indicators, hazards, remote key central locking, manual central locking, boot lid will not open unless key is used & no demisting on rear window. When I activate the locking via tha manual key process it locks but the alarm lights flashes dim, then stops. Any help greatly appreciated

Brilliant! Great advice - indicators, hazards and locking gone. Thin red wire to battery was broken. Stripped and re attached - hey presto - goodness knows how much cash saved for a garage to run diagnostics and tear the car to bits. Many thanks Paddy!!!

just came across this site bud.
I had the same problem on my w reg 2.ol petrol.
On the positive battery terminal there is a thin red wire that bolts to the clamp.
Mine was broken and the break was in the main loom .
peel the insulation back to you find the other end of the wire.

The problem I have now is the remote locking won't work.(New fault) the fob batteries have been changed but still no good AArgh !
Can anyone help ?

Hi I had a similar situation with my 2002 Tdi. After checking all fuses in main fuse box I removed the plastic cover (under the bonnet) at the battery box and discovered another fuse box there! This has a hinged lid and when you lift it up the fuse at the front (3amp) seems to control this function (probably to another relay). I removed the fuse to check if it was blown and finding it wasn't replaced it and every worked! Strange as the fuse wasn't blown, hope this helps!
