have a 2005 fiesta st 150

Was driving around yesterday and the car was perfectly fine, parked up at night as usual

went to start it in the morning and there was absolutely nothing!!!! didnt even try and crank or anything. then the EAC warning started flashing

Have read that it could be a dirty throttle body but i checked and its completely immaculate.

My symptoms are :

-turn the key, all the lights come on but they are very dim
-the digital fuel gauge reads empty when its full
-It makes a weired clicking noise when i try to crank it and the lights get dimmer
- headlights are very dim aswell as interior lights
- tapping noise from the fuse board behind the glove box (sounds like a relay)

Im guessing its an electrical fault somewhere but i dont know. Any info would be greatfully appreciated

Flat battery?
Have you charged battery or tried to jump start the car?

Iv ordered a new battery as thats what a mechanic reckoned it was.

Dont see why that would cause EAC failure to show tho

They do funny thingdwhen battery's go flat... All depend on what it's got enough power to switch on when you turn the ignition on
