DamirGTI 342 Posted July 1, 2007 Hi ! Driving at home tonight i've notice that my dash light switch in and out once just sarp cut out for a second and it come back on , also few miles after that the driving lights sudendly goes dimmy for a split second and come back just like that dash light WFT is wrong with this car ?!? Also i've notice that dash lights are a bit dimmy when i start the car for the first time from cold , and the battery warning light sometimes lights on (when i just switch the conntact not start the engine yet)and sometimes it dosn't light at all . However it never lights on when i drive and it shouldn't as far as i know . I've fit spare alternator few days ago because of the weird idle speed when the colling fan cuts in and idle speed starts to drop down to 500-600-500rmp swing up and down all the time but i ditn't fix that with this spare alternator .. The battery is around 4years old (maybe 5 ), but i didn't check the voltage must do that tomorow .. What could be wrong ? Thanks Damir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GWtaylor 8 1 Cars Posted July 1, 2007 sounds like you may need a new battery with it being oldish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted July 1, 2007 When you say dash lights, do you mean the clocks illumination. ie speedo etc? They are on the same fuse as the side lights if that's any help, or yes try a new battery, or you may have a bad earth somewhere? Sam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamirGTI 342 Posted July 1, 2007 Hi ! Yes , entire dash-clocks illumination vanish for one second and come back on , but everything worked and car drives fine just that illumination flicks off and on for a second and then after that driving lights start to play silly games - go dimmy etc. I will try with new battery and will ckeck earth wires But speaking of the earth wires how much earth wires do you have giong from the battery negative ? 1 or 2 ? i have just one tick wire which goes on the top of the gearbox (i remember having one more tick wire there which was connected from the gearbox to chassis but i remove that when i was fitting new reconditioned engine this year..)
