Wierd Electrical Moment - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

WB5LTR · 21-04-2008, 11:58 AM

Fellas,

today when i was driving to uni my stereo kept intermitantly switching off and on, i thought hmm must be a lose wire or soemthing. Then i noticed my indicators wern't working, so when i got to uni i had a look under the dash, no sign of lose wires or anything. Came back after class, all good, stereo stays on now and indiactors work. WTF??

Any ideas on what it could be incase it happens again.

Dose it start fine? I was driving to Shep one day and the ALT was on the way out l slowly lossing things cause i was driving on the battery. First was the stereo and lights.
Check the ALt is working fine or the battery is holding charge

its probably got holden-itis of the fuse box. remove the indicator fuse and replace it also clean the terminals which the fuse sits into with some sandpaper or steel wool etc. the fuse boxs in the early holdens get a bit grungy from time to time, common issue!!!!
