mickter Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Just bought a 2012 C-Max 1.6 tdci, 2 questions. Tried radio without engine running and it goes off after about 10min, tried with ign off,in aux ,but won`t stay on. once it goes off pressing on/off button does not do anything. both 2016 models I had before used to stay on for 1hr. also wiper doesn`t do single wipe without ign on, did no later model. All help appreciated. Cheers Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the state of charge of your battery, and the battery saver relay / body control module programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book says it should stay on for an hour,the battery is fully charged, it`s not a stop/start version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
