Gday guys! I was driving to work this morning, and about 3 or 4 times, the power cut out for a split second on my VP, the head unit turned off and the car basically shut down for a second then came back on. Did it about 3 times. Checked my battery terminals, they are both fine. I'm not too experienced with electrics at all. Anyone have any idea what it may be?
if the headunit and all went, im guessing it has nothing to do with the actual motor electrics, perhaps something earthed out somewhere? wiring harness?? was the red's on the dash when it cut out?
Something on the dash lit up but only for a split second, i didn't manage to catch what it was, i was too busy going **** YOU ****TY ASS ****ING **** OF A CAR JUST ****ING DIE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha. But yeah i think it was the attention light. You know, with the exclamation mark.
thats the handbrake light if it was, chances are it COULD of been the engine light, go out on your lunch break with a paper clip and check it out. If the motor died with the electrics still working properly, you would get numurous red lights......
Power and earth cables loose from where i had my amp and sub in the boot. Must have been touching something somewhere. I was supposed to wrap the ends in electrical tape but i forgot lol. If it happens again i'm gonna assume it's the battery terminals.
i was going to say that first up 'hey man, didnt you remove all your stereo gear, did you tape off the wiring'......
Hahahah yeah it hit me just after my last post this morning, i was like "OH **** THE ****ING STEREO WIRING!!!!" and bolted outside with a roll of electrical tape and taped the **** outta the ends of the power and earth cables. I don't wanna take them out just in case i decide to put a second 4 channel in there so i can run 4 X 6X9's in the future.
