an electrical problem

Recommended Posts

im no wizard when it comes to electrics but i have got a problem, when i put my drivers side window up and hold the button when it gets to the top the engine dies and nearly cuts out, as soon as i touch the button to put it up or down the rev counter needle drops like the ignition is off. i also found out the other day that the same thing happens if i press the horn. but nothing happens if i use the sunroof or other electrics. can anyone help?

Im sure what the exact problem if but it may be a bad earth which is draining more posative charge from the engine.

 

Try and check some earth points.

Does it only happen when with the drivers side window and horn only?

 

Once i had a very similar problem in another car, it may seem odd but they were a couple of problems togheter.

 

- Engine running very lean

 

- Electrical motor (unfused) with high current consumption

 

- Alternator with a pair a fried diodes
