Default Radio afected by battery area cables.

In my prior thread about Alternator Red Alert a member recommended I check a fusible lind from battery + to negative on terminals. I corrected a broken connection and solved the problem. While doing so and after connection my
blinking no functioning radio started to work. This lasted a day and then blinking again. Is there a cable or connector in that area that affects the radio firing up correctly ?

I'm glad I was able to help you resolve your battery warning light issue. Maybe update the original thread, as this would help anybody with the same issue.
I think I would be looking under the drivers (lhd) seat for any signs of water ingress, as there are a couple of modules (bluetooth & DAB) on the floor under the seat & these can get corroded with moisture.

Indeed you did and thanks again. I changed all modules under the driver seat and the radio works fine but intermittently. When I unplug the
battery and leave it out a few hours the radio works for awhile. But then it flashes the screen again. It seems something is loose or the fire up
order does not complete. Very frustrating
