I have a Ford Fiesta Active The car is chiming approximately every 5 minutes whilst driving. It attempts to display a message but it only shows for a split second and therefore impossible to read Has anyone experienced this

If it is doing this every 5 minutes then set up your phone to video the instrument cluster. You can then watch the video and read the message. 👍

This is going to be a difficult one to track down. It could be an intermittent fault with the fuel sender (in the tank), it could be a loose or corroded connector somewhere between the fuel sender and the instrument cluster, it could be a fault with the instrument cluster.

This may be one of those cases where you need to wait (and put up with it) until the fault becomes more permanent. The only other option is to load the parts cannon (LOADS of money !!) and start replacing things in the hope that something fixes the fault.

Checking connectors before replacing parts sounds like a cheap option, but many are nearly impossible to reach without taking lots of things apart first.
