Guest supra virgin 1 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Guys before i get bummed by a mobile car electrical guy i need some help. I was out last night stopped off to get some beers, came back to the car got in started up, turned the lights on which is when i noticed that their was no reading on the speedo etc. she then died, The car is fitted with a toad immobiliser/ alarm and they key fob is working. but i think the issue is with the immobiliser as their is nothing from ther alarm and the fob is now not even opening the doors now but my headlights work the stereo doesnt though or windows nothing. the fob was tested by the Rac guy and it is working properly. have checked all fuses and looked for any obviouse broken wires and can find nothing. Q. Has anyone had similar issues / What the f**k is wrong with my baby. if no ideas does any one know any good car electrtical guys near the portsmouth area that are not going to rub their hands and grin when they get hold of her thanks for your help in advance guys [/sAD][sAD] /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_sad.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboBrett Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 just a wild stab in the dark but is your battery dead, and your alternator not working, because that could cause the first set of symptoms, and well if the battery is dead the alarm wont be doing anything?

SteveR Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 try and start it with the interior light ON, and watch the light to see if it dims a lot. if it does, your battery is flat. The above sounds more than feasible to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest supra virgin 1 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I am a legend have got her sorted it myself guys. It was the alarm manged to issolate where they had take the spur for the alarm from took it of dis-connected battery and put all back in and off we go, Happy days. [GRIN][/GRIN] now just have to replace the blown slow blow fuse for the heater and all back to 100 %. I am guessing that when this fuse blew it caused a power surge that scared the alarm system so she just shut down but hey im guessing the main thing is she is back on the road !!! thanks for all advice though guys appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
