I’ll post results darthdude but I’m down another rabbit hole at the mo...... by the way, OBD wasn’t corroded. Check my previous post where I con checked it after I cut it off. Perhaps the reason the fuse blew is the other corroded connectors. See my response to pwood999 for explanation. Thanks for all the help gents.
Well, cleaned C104 and C204, spliced in new OBD changed fuse 44, that set the alarm off and blew the fuse. I’m guessing like my first post on this thread. Anyway I thought I’d try and run the software expecting it to be in the same condition with no Rx values, to my surprise it ran as should. Faults in the pics attached. Any ideas?
Do you recon that’s what’s blowing the fuse?
YOWZA!
Ok, many thanks, I’ve run the unlock software a few times and cleared faults but it comes up with the same every time so I’ll ignore that as you say it may be bogus. What can be done about the alarm sounder? Sorry, I have no idea what, where it is and if I can simply isolate without causing more problems. Once again, thanks
As Pete said sort the connectors behind the A post kick panel's loads of spurious faults are down to bad comms. Cut them,out,solder and heat shrink the wires.
Thanks. I’ll isolate the alarm sounder then try another fuse to begin with. If that works I’ll run and clear faults then run again to see what come up. I’d be ****ed if someone stole the Old Girl, I’d rather they nicked the iPace! I’ll let you know how I get on.The alarm sounder is behind the battey box under the fuse box, you should be able to unplug it or cut and seal the ends its not as if anyone is going to nick a p38 in this day an age and if they can manage to get it started there welcome to it
I’m going get round to that tomcat after I sort the blown fuse. Having had my head in there to clean them I’m not looking forward to soldering them! Looks like a 3 handed job and room for 1..... I think I’ll Tin the ends, overlap the ends and twist a bit of light gauge fuse wire to hold them then solder. Sounds like a plan.
stay tuned!Don't forget the heat shrink.
Just a thought, if it’s not the alarm sounder then it’s the timer relay under the seat?The alarm sounder is behind the battey box under the fuse box, you should be able to unplug it or cut and seal the ends its not as if anyone is going to nick a p38 in this day an age and if they can manage to get it started there welcome to it
Which is wired through the connectors from memory,cutting them out could solve your problems.
