Solved
Suzuki Swift 2007 Swift VVT 142655 miles
Car doesn't seem to hold enough charge to start recently. Feels like flat batter. ,eps and abs light come on,power steering goes stiff until it's running for a min or so. Does go if jump started or push Started. Its embarrassing as fk. Something is draining the battery or not holding charge...no so swift eh.

After some time looking at the battery,re-earthing the negative leads,terminals and the terminal leads I discovered my negative terminal had split completely in half on the underside so I replaced the negative terminal with a led one and that fixed the problem.

Just got my 2017 and after 2 weeks had the same issue-warning lights on whilst driving, no indicators, brake lights, central locking but car running fine. Left overnight and all was ok. Happened again yesterday but the car had been sat in the sun and when I came back to it all the same issues, any ideas?

I found that it was because my car wasn't getting enough power from the battery. Check ur negative and positive terminals aren't cracked on the undersides and that ur earthing cable has no build up on each end.
Thanks for that-it’s just gone back into the garage for checking tomorrow so I’ll see what they come back with and let them know this if they’re stumped

I recently took the car for a service and a battery change. I noticed that when nthey binstalled the battery they did not place a backup supply on the OBD port as everything had zero'd, clock radio etc etc. The guy said thats only needed on start stop vehicles. ( i am not stupid ). Since the battery change the following errors have appeared to which the mechanic claims that the cameras break very easily and also because we are in a very hot country and the sun burns them they break easily. To which i claim BULLSHIT.
The reason i am now faced with these's errors is because of the battery chan… Read complete
