ryan_welshman 10 Posted March 30, 2017 Hey people! Hopefully someone can help me with this as its getting on my moobs! Car died randomly the other night and then came alive then died so i had to my very first tow! Im thinking it could very a faulty aftermarket ecu or faulty crank position sensor. But having a fiddle earlier, i found when you switch on the headlight switch, the gauges go crazy and kill the engine sometimes. Please see attached video any help or suggestions would be amazing Many thanks Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ferarrifeet 0 Posted March 31, 2017 do know if it's any help but could it possibly be a loose earth somewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dogma 10 Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Electrics can be a nightmare...I would get an auto electrician to take a look unless your good with this kind of stuff. Have you checked the fusebox, I had issues with some wires that had come loose and the car would just stop randomly and also the clocks didn't work correctly (not like yours tho..)

I did find a little green plug that had come loose but i cant see where it goes as the fusebox only comes out so far. Googled a pic of the rear of the box and can't see anything that would help to locate where it should go... the search goes on!

Cressa 44 Posted April 2, 2017 I was going to suggest the ignition switch ? Have you changed Yours lately, as they are another source of being a pain. Just a thought Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
