Fayt Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 hey everyone for some reason my ke10's lights flicker and I have no idea why i did a check on the battery and the volts jump up and down which is whats triggering the flickering, but i don't know what is making the volts jump up and down its got a new regulator on it and I installed a brand new altinator to it today, but it still does it :wink: the flickering stops when its put under load "eg braking" its not the regulator, its not the altinator, so what the hell could it be? could it have a crook earth somewhere?? does anyone know of something else that could be triggering this?? thanks guys :y: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla__Boy Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Crook earth is the most likely thing. On my KE35, I couldn't get the battery to charge, I took it to an auto elec, they tested the altenator on the plug on the back, and it was charging fine, so I ran a new (second) wire from the alt to the battery, and it fixed everything, so given that your car is so old, it could easily be a problem somewhere in the wiring. But my first guess would be earths. Check them ALL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 ^^ what he said run more ground wires... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 It wouldn't hurt to upgrade your wiring on the car from time to time. 4g wiring for all your earths wouldn't be a bad starting point :y: I'll be dong 0g, but I'm psycho :wink: plus, my car is going to have a high electrical load to deal with, so it's gonna need it.

Robert Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 The passenger side headlight on my KE55 only comes on some of the time: like when i accelerate really fast or if I shake the wires or headlight. I think it might be a loose or broken wire, maybe you should check if your wiring is damaged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Posted March 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 all my electrics work fine its just that something is making the battery being overcharged and jumping the volts up and down, the obvious answer would be the altinator but thats brand new :wink: I'm gonna pull out the altinator and regulator and get them checked, as this problem is giving me the willies :y: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 well I got it check in at Specialist Auto Electrices Pty Ltd and got it fixed, this is what was written on the tax invoice: "Tested alternator / regulator / ok. Checked vehicle, found no feed to regulator. Repaired wiring & checked ok". All fixed now, thanks for the replys :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
