Tin Top Electric Problem
Having trouble with my '05 Scenic.
Went to start today - flashed up "Parking Brake Failure" on the display, then the central door locks went into a non stop frenzy.
I disconnected the battery.
Gave it a few minutes then tried again - same thing.
Any ideas anyone?
This is going to be fun as I can't tow it as it's keyless and steering lock is on and the handbrake is on and that's electric
too.
Help.

Is it possible the parking brake has frozen!??? It has been pigging cold - other than that a faulty body earth sounds likely as can't see
anything else that would connect the park brake (which I assume is electric?) & the central locking
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Classic symptoms of a dead battery, they can limp on for months, then during the first sub-zero temp night they die..
Not enough juice to work the locks or release the hand-brake.
Try it with a new battery or jump pack..
