Electrical problem

Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

Ive gotten myself a funny [sAD][/sAD] little electrical problem..

 

Started last night after a drive, checked all lights etc before i went out and it was all working until i was on my way home.

When i turn my lights on, low beam, all turn signals, and the heating fan [sHOCK][/sHOCK] goes on! and the low beam light is just barley visble, it goes very dimm..

and my wipers doesnt work..

 

i was kinda certain it was a grounding problem, but im not so sure anymore.. ive been looking at all ground points and they look good..

 

And before everyone check the cables in the fenders i did, and all the wireing there is fine...

 

Is there a way to check if there is an grounding issue?, the battery is moved to the back so i guess it could have somehting to do with that... weird thing is that it worked before i went out..

Could i pull a cable from the negative on the battery to somewhere to check if it has anything to do with that?

 

Or does someone have any idea on where to begin xD

 

Thanks in advance //Fredric

I would check for corrosion on the battery terminals. Then probably best to test your battery or take it in for a test. If it is the serviceable type, maybe its low on electrolyte. You can conduct a battery test to determine whether its gone or not but thats only if it is the serviceable type battery.
