Saxo Forte - Electrical Problems

  1. #1
    Alright folks, just signed up hoping that someone will be able to help me here.

    The wife has a 52 plate Saxo Forte and recently its had a couple of small electrical issues.

    If the car has sat for a day or so and you start it up and switch the heater on to clear the windows, the heater does nothing until you rev the engine and then it works fine after that.

    The latest one was my neighbour chapped my door asking if I knew that the car radio was on??? The car hadn't been used for a couple of days so I was well surprised. Sure enough, when I checked it out the radio was ON. It must have switched itself on somethime this morning as I tried the engine and the car started fine so the radio obviously hadn't been on too long.

    Any ideas if these could be related?
    Do Saxos suffer from any common electrical problems?

    Cheers in advance
    Baz
