Dispatch problems.

Unread post by Woody69 »

Hi there, this is my first post on here.
My girlfriend has a 57 plate 2.0 hdi Dispatch, vin number VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff], she has been busy turning it into a mini camper, thus far insulating and lining with carpet.
The problems are now that the engine will crank over but it won’t start, the fan, radio and electric windows do not work and the central dash display is reading mode economie.
I’ve charged the battery which had gone flat but that hasn’t solved the problem.
Where do I go from here?
Any help would be much appreciated.

The fan, radio & windows are not working because the van is in economy mode, It wont come out of eco mode till the engine is started.
Basics first, Check all the fuses. Was the battery already flat or did it go flat trying to get it started? Did the fault happen after doing any work on the electrics?

The battery went flat trying to start the engine.
It’s now recharged.
All fuses under dash are ok.

No. Nothing has been touched as it’s a very basic conversion, none of the electrics have been disturbed and no extra electrical items have been added.
