What to check if the Renault Zoe indicates "check the electrical system

Model: Renault Zoe MK 1 - Years 2013-2024
Part: Instrument cluster

In this video we explain what to do if the message "check electrical system" appears on the instrument panel of our Renault Zoe. Before taking the car to the dealership, there are some simple checks we can do ourselves, which are: checking the voltage of the starter battery, located in the front hood. We can check it using a voltmeter or a multimeter, a device that costs a few euros. The second thing to check is the water pump, located just behind the front grille, as indicated by our youtuber. Being an electrical device, it can have problems. The third device to check is the fuse box, located next to the battery, especially if it has rained a lot in the previous days; a short circuit may have occurred. Lastly, we should check the condition of the cables (even without assuming a problem of mice nibbling on them, as the youtuber says), which may have been damaged in some way.
