Twizy electrical faults

Has anyone else had weird electrical issues with their Renault Twizy? Mine's a 2018 electric model with about 60k km on the clock, and lately it's been throwing up all sorts of fault messages. Sometimes it's just the error lamps flickering, other times the radio cuts out or the navigation goes bonkers. Even had it shut down completely a couple of times! Plugged in an OBD-II reader and it's showing a bunch of errors, but nothing specific. Could it be a dodgy connection somewhere?

I've got a Twizy too, and that sounds familiar. Did the errors seem to happen more when you went over bumps or anything like that?

That's interesting, I hadn't really thought about it. Now that you mention it, I think it might be happening more when I'm on rough roads. What was your issue, and how did you fix it?

Sounds like the same problem I had. It turned out to be a faulty cable connection to one of the control units – the one connected to the BUS system. I tried fiddling with it myself, but honestly, I'd just take it to a workshop. They'll be able to diagnose it properly and fix it right. It's probably a quicker and safer bet.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a shop, and you were spot on – it was a loose cable connection to the control unit. They charged me 155€ to fix it, which isn't too bad. Everything seems to be working perfectly now. Really appreciate your help!
