My son recently acquired an '06 plate 307 diesel estate. Has been running fine until the other day when he said he heard a "pop" from the front left glove compartment area. A "faulty circuit board" warning appeared on the dash and not long after the ABS warning light came on. The car drove fine for another 5 miles or so and then the steering went heavy for a few seconds. The ESP light came on and the STOP sign came on as well and also the warning triangle symbol with an exclamation mark in it. He managed to continue for another 100 yds and the car stopped.
Now the car won't start at all (just a clicking sound although it doesn't sound like a solenoid to me). Also, as well as the ABS and ESP warning lights being on so is the airbag warning light.
I immediately checked all the fuses including the Maxi fuses. These are all ok however when checking the Maxi fuses I noticed that one of them was missing - apparently it is for the passenger compartment fuse box! Also when I lifted the fuse box out to check the Maxi fuses there were two wires, one red and one blue, that have been wrapped up with insulating tape and are just sitting there not connected to anything and disappear into the loom
(maybe they have something to do with the missing fuse?).
Any help on where to start will be very much appreciated.
