Headlight switch kills the car!

Recommended Posts

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

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..)

Hey thanks. 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!

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
