Title: Dead battery. Bump start. Non working rev counter.
Post by: Mitching on 11 October 2010, 20:04

Right, I did the retarded act of leaving my lights on thus coming back to a dead car.
The problem is, I bump started it up and the rev counter stopped working (still got the speedo though  :huh: ), also the oil and water LEDs were constantly lit and the MFA doesn't work, just some random shapes on the screen!
I checked the clock fuse and that was fine (until I snapped the c*nt trying to get it back in  :rolleyes: )
Anyone know how to sort it?

cheers
Mitchell

Hi
Disconnect the car battery for a few minutes.

your speedo is mechanical so it will still work.

Sounds like a damaged x-over relay or blown fuse.

Sorted it!
Disconnected the battery whilst playing with the alternator, got a new fuse from halfrauds and jobs a good un!
Cheers all  :smiley:
