Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 right guys. I had problem develop yesterday where my CAT & Battery light & oil level light stayed on to long when starting car. Oil was low so topped up and put brake fluid in just in case. It still happened when braking....even very soft braking!! Now its on constantly. What i did notice is that when i pull away a bit jumpy the lights jump on and off. What could this be? does it mean my car wont be charging as the battery light is on? I changed my plugs on monday and i guess it started happening around then. Im an NA as well. Ohh is there a way to check gearbox level of oil? dip stick anywhere? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 all these came up after you changed the plugs.....leave it to charlie next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 all these came up after you changed the plugs.....leave it to charlie next time shut it! lol they didnt just come on.... the progression was I noticed all 3 staying on longer on start up. Then all coming on when braking now all 3 on permantly! Just updated my AA cover incase my battery isnt charging and i die on way to work. I dont think this is problem all fluids are up to date etc... I think it loose connection but dont know where to look or maybe a bad earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 yup you broke it, have you reset the ecu see if they go away? or checked for codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 sorted..... ive taken off the 2 connectors that was on the throttle body before. Blew in them...got crap in my eye....went into the house, turned the tap on... sorry got side tracked there Anyway pulled fuses, just gone for 15miles drive....and not one blink of the light. I think it was a loose connection or dirt stopping a plug connecting properly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 well done, just a couple of thousand miles before you change them again and break something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 well done, just a couple of thousand miles before you change them again and break something else mate i broke it quicker then that. Done spark plugs at mine and after thread about spark plug charlie said he would give me compression check (passed with flying colours 185) anyway i go to pull HT lead off.....pull off....the inside of the HT lead is still on the plug drove home with misfire now i knew watching blue peter would come in handy. You'll need: 1 broke HT lead 1 pair of siccors 1 kettle lead Take kettle lead and strip down to the eletric wire, strip 2 bits same length and twist together. Stuff inside HT lead end until full,whack on to spark plug untill tight. Drive car away works a treat....dont worry ive got some HT leads coming.....just got to fit them now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
