Guest gzaerojon Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Does that apply for any time you disconnect and reconnect the battery? It's just that I've never done that before. i would say definatly, i always do it now, the idea is that any spike you may get is absorbed by the bulbs lighting up (or sometimes in the event of a spike a bulb blowing) cheaper to replace a bulb then an ecu.

Bob Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 But isn't the ECU fused to prevent just that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1933 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 dont know. I pretty sure it was just teh battery connection as it seems to to have been fine since. Puzzling thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 dont know. I pretty sure it was just teh battery connection as it seems to to have been fine since. Puzzling thought! Not really, it was pretty obvious from the start TBH. I just lost the will to live with the thread when we got onto just connecting up one jump lead, and it making a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 almost as puzzling as how you get a spike from a battery- its dc ,if the car was running on alternator then maybe, but how do you get a spike from a 12 volt battery -it cannot give more than 12 volts?? or its terminal votage? there is no regulator to fail/spike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you don't seem to need the other one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
