V50 cutting out / electrics playing up
2005 volvo V50 2.0D sport
recently the radio has been going all fuzzy and the disply flickering randomly also the faulty child lock message has been showing on the display and some times the wipers just don't work, and this week the heater blower keeps stopping. this has been going on a month or so, but now when the radio crackles and goes fuzzy the engine stops!!! what should i look at? i did notice when starting the engines turns over really slowly could it be the battery? |

I would check the connections are incorrectly to the stereo and display first before looking at the actual wireing, it is not going to be the battery itself.
This will mean you'll ned to dismantle the centre waterfall dash. |

great i'll get involved,
before i run outside do i need any special tools, i think i have TORX SCREW SET will that be enough also do think the radio shorting would affect the heater and wipers? |

No special tool other than a coupleof torx bits, there are instructions on here if you do a search but if you can't find them post back and either I or someone will point you to some instructions somewhere for getting the stereo out.
No, no the radio shorting I don't think willaffect the heater or wipers, well maybe the heater as it is controlled from the same console and connection as the stereo controls but not the wipers. What probalems are you having with heater and wipers? |

it was the battery, and alternator.
since replacing both, never had a electrical fault as previously described |
