AlanS Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hi there, I recently bought a year 2000 Focus 1.8 petrol. Recently the car started running the dash board auto cheek at every engine start: when ever I start the engine all gages rotate to the scale end and then go back to normal position. No warning lights stay on afterwords. Is this indicative of an electrical problem? Thanks for your help, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I'd check the battery, that's usually a sign it's on the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanS Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi there, You were both right. Yesterday, on a lovely Sunday morning, the battery died!!! Fortunately the dealer where I got the car is a nice person and came to replace it.. Thanks for your help, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
