Whitesupraboy2 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 well for last few month or so ive had my oil level light / cat temp light and battery light on with the hazard triangle, been flashing at me alot and sometimes on constant I have tried everything; connectors Adding earths moving current earths checking SLD adding an earth to the SLD well it has been on constant for a while and as i got home i could tell something wasnt right, so turned the car off, went to turn it back on and nothing apart from the alarm going off. So a quick rapid charge to get it back on the driveway and dash backapart looking at the LSD and checking the dash for any bad earths. It didnt work so i started up the car and thought well its time to just wiggle the wires i guess....so i started wiggling them and BANG sparks started flying all over the shop, so done it again to see where it came from it was the earth that is on the alternator! the nut was only on by couple threads and thats a long bolt! i had my alternator changed last november when i had my auxilery arm problem. So it worked itself free within 6 months. This thing must of been sparking alot because it has a plastic cap....well did have, its all been burnt away tightened it up...started car and no more lights....thank god for that this also means i can now sell my car without a fault...woohoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 i had my alternator changed last november when i had my auxilery arm problem. Who fitted it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 Who fitted it? Triton motorsport, local import specialists. they basically done the whole front end of the engine when the crank pulley got smashed in half. I still dont fault their work and how good the guys were too me and i will still go back to them. we all make small mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
