B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Ok so the alternator wasn't getting power. Traced it back as far as I could but couldn't find the problem. The main charge cable snapped because of some of the shittiest wiring ever. Had to pull the rad out to get to it. Couldn't find a good 'run' power source for the alt so I've tapped into the main engine fuse next to the steering wheel. Pretty much everything was going smooth then it started raining and my car is outside. It's amazing all this seemed to happen at once but I think it stemmed from the main alt cable shorting shit out. The main alt charge cable was about 6different pieces all wired together. Gettouh azz bruz. Also thanks to Trev again. You are awesome at explaining shit when you ain't even there. Would of been lost otherwise. Edited January 15, 2012 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) The dodgy wiring was down near the radiator in the worst place. Had to pull the rad out. Rewire all the dodgy. This bit was sandwiched between the rad and chassis. Prettied it up a but. Getting good charge and idling at about a grand. Having issues still but I'm hoping its a really flat or totally useless battery. EDIT: It started sweet with the coon hooked up EDIT 2: Charged it up and did another ECU reset. Did a diagnostic and got an all is fine light. Took it for a spin and all was good. Driving like a dream and its even raining so gave the locker a workout (back roads).
