HA HA HA, Car going to dealer AGAIN!!!!!

[Wicked One]

The battery died, again, nothing new there.

I did a little lighting effects in my car this week.

Added led ambient lights, and removed the courtesy lamps and replaced them with led's, not led lamps, but through hole led's.

After all done, I fire up the car and I have a few problems.

1. The tack doesn't work
2. 90% of the dash icons are lit up in the gauges (traction control, wrench, airbag, brake, check engine)
3. the tcs switch in the center will not turn off, it is always illuminated.
4. convertible top button does not work
5. the data display says,"check charging system, check brake system"
6. when I turn the key on, the tach and speedometer needle go down but return to zero.

Things I checked

1. Every fuse in the entire car
2. tried to read any codes with my x3, but said "error getting code count"
3. tried to read my strategy, "error reading strategy"
4. checked all connections.
5. Removed all prior installation

The top works, but only after I turn the key forward than off. And the auto window up no worky either.



Thanks guys, I am at a loss here. The car runs fine, just those above problems. Do not know if the speedo works, did not go anywhere.


And I am not going to the previous dealer I was at. Gonna go to Scarsedale Ford. Let them figure the shit out, I am getting tired of this crap.:smash::smash::smash::smash:

LOL you have lots of issues with your car. Maybe its your wiring job lol. In all seriousness have you tried unhooking the battery and letting it set for a while and then hook it back up? Either way I hope you get things resolved soon and if not soon before Spring. Good Luck

 

[1BIGMOFO]

you must have a draw from somewhere Gregg..... Why else would it keep frying the batt???

 

[Wicked One]

DUDE, I tried everything in my arsenal except gasoline and a match

I am going out to do a pin test to check tolerances in a few. That is gonna be fun.

I def think after this I am going to start the search for a new ride.


2007 GT VERT maybe for sale. Cheap!!! $10.00 and a bottle of asprin

I had a similar issue with our 2008 Jeep Liberty. It was fine when we first got it in Sept/Oct 08 then once it got cold (below 20 deg.) the battery would die and they changed the battery,radio and a few other things and nothing every worked so we returned it thanks the the Lemon law in Late March 09

There is a 2amp draw, but according to the powers at ford, that is normal. I don't think so, there should be no draw except .10amps for my alarm.

I am going to take out the factory shaker amps and do my own thing cause that seems to be the cause of the draw.

That is the least of my worries. I have no tach and the cluster is fucked "cluster fuck"

I can just laugh and let the "pro's" use the book and fix it.

Sorry to hear Gregg.Let me know how much gas to bring and I will help you get rid of it

[Resvon]

I would gladly accept the car as a gift Gregg.. instead of burning it .

 

[Monx]

Hope you have her fixed asap man

 

[1BIGMOFO]

[Quick281]

do you have any aftermarket alarm or remote start ? try ditching that shit first

 

[RustyNutz]

Wonder if those Jerkoffs from the dealership f'd something else up when they had your dash in pieces?

That would be my guess.... dealers.. :smash: Sorry to see you having more PROBLEMS....

 

[1990_LX]

You have a lot of wiring issues with your car. Good luck this time though!

 

[Wicked One]

No shit, I am not worried about the battery. I want my top and my gauges to work.

Fixed the windows, just needed to be reset.

Good point, the dealer did have my dash apart, and to tell the truth I never checked the gauges when I took it home. But I think I would have noticed the tcs light on.
