Video tutorial

In this video, we will discuss what to do if the message to check the electric system appears on the instrument panel of your Renault Zoe. Before taking the vehicle to the dealership, there are simple checks you can perform yourself, which are: the voltage of the starter battery, located under the bonnet.

You can check it with a voltmeter or multimeter, a device that costs just a few pounds.

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 cause issues.

The third item to check is the fuse box, located next to the battery, especially if it has rained heavily in the previous days; a short circuit may have occurred. Lastly, check the condition of the cables (even without assuming a rodent problem as mentioned by the YouTuber) that may have been damaged in some way.
