Hi - I've had my C3 since December. Was serviced and MOT'd. Since having it, I've had to have an injector replaced due to running on 3 cylinders. Not sure if that would have any relation to the current problem.
I drove my car all day Friday, no issues. Went out in it yesterday and noticed all the dash lights on (hadn't even put the key in). Started fine. Put radio on and it made a loud beeping noise. Still dash lights were all on, no mileage shown and none of the petrol level indicators were showing. Drove the car, switched off engine. Lights remained. Left overnight (stupidly) and today it won't start at all. Not even ticking. Central locking not work. What could it be?! Tried jump starting and that did nothing. Got someone coming out tomorrow but keen to get an idea.
2005 C3 Desire - completely dead, won't start.

locate the BSI - fuse box
Battery is flat, don't jump start the C3, charge the battery off the car or replace the battery.Lights remained. Left overnight (stupidly) and today it won't start at all. Not even ticking. Central locking not work. What could it be?!
Going back to the original fault, sounds like BSI is giving problems, maybe it got wet?Put radio on and it made a loud beeping noise. Still dash lights were all on, no mileage shown and none of the petrol level indicators were showing.

For a non starter, dead, check the battery and the starter motor solenoid.glenk wrote:I have the same problem. My C3 is completely dead, turn the key and nothing at all, no lights, sound nothing. Did you find a solution to your problem? Thanks
