Hi all, Wondering if someone has an idea of what my vs is doing. Starts no problem but after a minute or so whilst driving it just stalls(auto trans) and the electrics go haywire ie the warning lights on the dash flick on and off interior light comes on hazards go on and off and the central locking locks and unlocks itself radio on and off headlights and dash lights dim no power steèring abs etc. Car will start again after a minute or so and run roughly until you accelerate and this all happens again. Haven't seen any info on here that really matches the issue I'm having so any advice is greatly appreciated as the car is off the road until I get it sorted as its too dangerous having it die in traffic.
What do you mean no power steering ? If your engine stalls of course there won't be any power steering because the steering pump stops when the engine stops, so that's ruled out as a cause. I'd be checking all the wiring connections everywhere, sounds like a really weird computer virus lol. Start it up and go around shaking all the wires you can reach ( keep your fingers away from the pulleys etc and see if it stalls when you move a particular cable .... Any error codes ? should be a bunch of em
is your earth clean tho? it wont make much difference if its tight and has a layer of grime between the earth terminal and the battery clamp/Engine/Body earthing points.
