Hello there.

 

I hope you chaps can help me out here as I have a bit of a problem with my electrics which has been going on for some time now and doesn't appear to be improving (obviously!). My temperature gauge in the dash doesn't seem to be working and don't think it's a sensor. The alternator charge light (battery light) used to remain lit and my battery was getting drained, but i'm not sure why.

 

I thought this may have been down to the alternator, so I changed it, but didn't fix the issue. As if my magic, that problem went away all by itself, but now I have a new issue:

 

When driving my car at night, I notice the illuminating bulbs in my instrument cluster are fading and my subwoofer cuts in and out. Also, my temperature gauge still doesn't work when the car is running, but when the engine is stopped but the ignition is on the needle goes to maximum.

 

On top of this, the car doesn't run properly with the MAF connected.

 

 

Please halp.

did you not mention that you were running the wrong ECU or MAF in the past? Edited September 9, 2010 by scottg17
