hi it sounds like some short circuit. its unlikely the battery jump start cable burnt off. unless its of a bad quality one. just tow it back to proton. unless yours is out of warranty. did u add anything new to your car recently? electrical items?

I'm banking on the alternator too. It can make or break a car sometimes.

QUOTE(BridgestoneRE711 @ Oct 12 2009, 09:13 PM) hi guys, Im a proton gen2 owner too.my poton gen2 have this problem. 1) yesterday : cruise control not working. 2) today : after i reverse my car, it honked itself. then after that i drive for 5 meters. the car just stalled itself and the engine no longer able to start. everytime when i tried to crank start my car, it just stalled off or couldn't be started. after few attempt the check engine panel no longer working anymore, the CEL just doesn't turn and all those indicators just gone off and i couldn't start my car. i have to take off the fuse of honk becasue it will autohonk . btw , the PRND2L panel gear mode is only blinking. proton gen2 . 2006 highline 1.6L auto.  I did face the problem u mention-- --- the PRND2L panel gear mode is only blinking. Last time this problem occured is due to the Relay of the Gearbox where placed in the fuse box beside the battery. when there is blinking, the engine stil idling, but the car cant moving, like in the 'N' mode... I think may b big possibility there is some relay or that could causing short circuit, may b u could try it out. |

sorry for late reply.
the problem is fixed . it is due to the faulty clockspring. the symptoms are steering wheel button malfunction, then cruise control rosak then auto honk . because all those wires are connected to the same place. |

yeap. i should be thankful that the airbag didnt deploy due to the faulty signal.
gen2 members should be careful on this, this isnt the first clockspring case, the other member here got the same problem and the airbag deployed.

Hmmm i better keep an eye on my blm air bag. Another design flaw from proton. A safety device becomes a liability instead.
