New battery now problems?
Looking for guidance and advice please. Here is scenario, fitted new battery with c-tell clipped on to keep voltage up. Earth lead from c-tek came off whilst changing battery. Before changing I lowered to access height. After change on start up I had some warnings shown, airbag, seatbelt, switch off back on lights out. On driving there is the ding and tilt sensor display shows with message road height only available. Read codes and have C1A20,UO132, B1B02, B1B78. Nanocom shows failed to communicate with body control. I should say I was raising and lowering it several times. Since buying vehicle the tilt sensor warning has came on couple times when cornering (to left) but went out. Did notice also the message on code reader( can't communicate with body control unit) any advice please, many thanks for now. Jim

Talking to myself but hoping someone can direct me where to start looking? In morning I'll have look behind nsf wing at connectors. Had a look at fuse area passenger footwell and checked a connector behind main battery. Cleaned 3 small earth connections on nsf inner wing between main battery and FBH. Should I remove and clean plugs on level sensors? Spent most of Friday reading through posts on forum and I think it's pointing to compressor, but don't want to rush out and get one, read about brake pedal switch/ bulbs etc? And compressor relay. Where do I make a start? Thanks for now.

I hope this doesn't seem patronising, but a much wiser bod than me always said "ok ... what did you touch last?" whenever troubleshooting 5h1t.
Given this all started with a change of battery make sure you didn't knock/damage/unclip something in that area before you start spending any money!.

What model CTek are you using and what mode did you have it set on?It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Thanks for replies, all appears ok at battery area, had good examination last night. I have ordered relay. The c-tek was in normal charge/condition. There is a position on it which shows frosty weather which I think give slightly higher output. Given the fact that this tilt sensor warning did come on in past when going on sharp or carrying bit of speed on left hand turn, does that say anything? I thought it was meant to come on in such driving conditions. Would the connections behind nsf be worth look? I'm going to examine battery area again. Looking for any input/ guidance please, thanks jim

Meant to add to my last. Looking through service history I see Strathstone fitted new compressor 2013. The existing relay is grey coloured. (others black) suppose it would be changed at same time?

Talking to myself again and looking for help/advice. Have spent all weekend plus read through everything I can relating to my tilt sensor warning. I took cover off compressor this morning and discovered it is a AMK compressor. When I start engine it runs nice and quite until fault light comes on where it stops and makes sneezing sound like dumping the pressure. All wires/ pipes etc look ok along with soap test for bubbles. Not been at nsf inner wing yet, but so far is knowing it runs and cuts off What next?

What do you mean by tilt sensor warning?
Do you mean the orange light ?

Thanks for reply. Yes the yellow warning ( not red) says only normal road height and can't raise or lower ride height, switch off back on and warning comes on again. I changed relay and looked at compressor today, any ideas,

Removed NSF inner wing panel. The 3 plugs at rear of inner wing were each supported on slide on brackets keeping wiring loom clear of bodywork. Didn't see anything untoward?
