what happened there then?

Post by DanDiesel »

driving along goning to a family get together the other nite and i ran in2 all sorts of problems.
firstly, my coil pack light started to flash (this is known to the dealer and booked in to fix)
then all of a sudden, my ABS, airbag and TCS lights all came on!!!
f***********ck!!!
then my central locking opened and the interior light came on!
then all the dial, stereo and air con lights went out along with the headlights!!!i got off the main dual carriageway and on2 a smaller road where i pulled over and switched off!
the car then wouldn't start again!! battery seemed to be dead and it caused the lights and that to have a spaccy moment.

i had to be rescued by doug and my dad in the g40 becoz i had left my AA card at home in my wallet!!
luckily dad used his AA card to get me a callout and an hour and a half later they arrived and jump started the car and i was able to limp home.

well, it turned out that a wire had snapped due to it being to tightly put together and this had caused an intemitant fault (ie- it kept connecting and disconnecting) which was why the alternator would not work properly which is why the battery went dead on me.
