Just picked up my first c5 today . 1st run all ok 2nd time pressed motor button and nothing . I did notice 1st run r/h led all lights on and l/h just the two outer orange . 2nd time now all leds illuminated ?
Then other thing I need new battery, it still has original fitment is this a good time to change harness and fit leisure battery  or should I keep original? Any help and advise would be appreciated regards steve

Hi you may find that the red cable is at fault  (try to clean the contacts first on the pod end) Also when you press the start buton does the first LED on the left side light up .....bye Chas

Hi Chas thanks for help .  It turned out to be the 1 amp fuse in control box. In my haste to try I used car battery and wire , I've now ordered modified wiring harness . Regards steve
