- 1994 VR S2 Acclaim
Hi folks,
I've previously started a thread in the VR/VS general section, with NO luck (as no-one has replied).
My VR Acclaim (Series II - converted to BW T5) has a rather crippling electrical fault somewhere, and I need to know where to find it.
Symptoms shown (or smelt):
* blowing 20A engine fuse (still an issue), and 15A f/pump fuse (now not an issue).
* a burning smell (my wife told me a couple of days after she smelt it...).
* disconnected f/pump stopped the f/pump fuse blowing - but f/pump tested to be good! (As well as a spare that I've also got).
* motor will now crank over (f/pump disconnected from f/pump loom and running from an external 15A 12V fused power source), but, when cranking stops (start failed), the 20A engine fuse blows. (Have blown 25A & 30A fuses in the fuse socket as well - once we ran out of 20A fuses).
I have on hand:
* 3 VR V6 coil packs (spares for the existing).
* A VP starter motor (in GOOD cond' - as a direct replacement part, ready to fit).
* A VP f/pump (actually in the tank - as near-new f/pump was taken out to be checked - also in GOOD cond').
My wife and I REALLY NEED this car working!!! So, this is URGENT!!! PLS - NEED HELP!!!
