Partner Battery Sensor Issue

Partner 2011 gasoline, battery woes. Getting speedometer errors, flickering lights, and error codes, plus weak starts. Suspect the battery sensor. Anyone seen this?

Sounds familiar. I drive a Partner too. Were you also experiencing a heavy battery discharge? Because I had similar issues: error messages, weak lights, and starting problems. Did you check for parasitic drain?

Parasitic drain crossed my mind, but how did you pinpoint the battery sensor on your Partner? Any specific tests or observations?

Well, after a lot of diagnostics, the garage identified the battery sensor as the culprit. Given your symptoms, I'd recommend getting it professionally checked. A faulty sensor can wreak havoc with the charging system. In my case, the repair plus new sensor ended up costing 315€. It's best to have it confirmed before throwing parts at it.

Thanks for the info. Confirmed, it was indeed the battery sensor. Replaced, and the car's running perfectly now.
