Electrical Problem NEED HELP ASAP SHAWD, VSA AFS
I was driving about a week ago 60mph and my tac, speedometer and temp gage drop to 0 as if the car was off, but the motor kept going and i could drive fine. it stayed like that for several minutes and then all gages came back up to normal. this happened intermittently maybe 10 times over 2 weeks. only when driving and never for more then 2 minutes. I never lost power to the motor steering breaks NOTHING! radio and Navi still worked. It was as if the car was on Accessory mode. This morning i turned the car on and all gages read 0. engine was running steering and breaks worked and i could drive but again car was "off" or on "accessory mode" i drove about 200 miles and only time it would read anything was in Reverse. and it didn't count the miles unless i was in reverse. Its and issue! but main concern is I only have power to Two wheels. and No VSA... does any one have this issue or know what it might be?

Sounds like battery and/or alternator problems.
|
Loose batter cables.
Bad battery. -or- Bad alternator. |
Its not the battery checked that and even disconnected it to rest everything. car runs fine other then the fact that it think its off.. I will Check out the battery again but is there a fuse or relay or starter electronic that might have gone bad?

I don't understand how disconnecting the battery proves it's good. How does the car start? Is it quick to start, or does it take a few cranks? What is the voltage across the terminals when the car is running?
This is a long shot, but maybe another issue is causing circuit issues. Pull fuse 7 out and see if anything changes. That fuse powers the front doors which have numerous common issues with the handles and lock actuators. I know that fuse is also connected to the guage cluster, so it seems possible the entire circuit could be affected by an issue elsewhere. Unlikely, but worth a try. |
