Ah ok, I'd check for fault codes on the controllers then, engine ECU etc and look for water ingress and bad wiring. The ECU being under the scuttle tray can get wet or corroded. Plugs etc.

Disconnect the battery before pulling the ECU plugs off.

Had a quick check and all fault codes are the normal ones for low battery levels.

Charged the battery and seems normal again :lol:

Low battery voltage can do strange things on a modern vehicle! ECUs act crazy when the battery is poorly.

The Fan issue must have started the battery low situation as I had driven the day before so the battery should not have been really low.

Just have to wait and see what happens over time

Thanks for your help.
