Hello from across the pond, just like to say before I start what a great informative forum this is so I’m sure someone on here will be able to make sense of this.
Ok, so at the start of last week I was going to pull the car out of the garage to give it a good was before it gets a severe polishing for over winter, the car started and drove about a foot before it cut out and refused to start, the theft light was flashing so I thought it’s down to the pats, a bit of research followed and I tried everyone of the reset methods I’d found.
All these proved unsuccessful, so more research, I’d noticed that the odometer was just a series of dashes, also the theft light flashed a code, 1,6.
More research, the prospect of a faulty ccrm now began to appear, luckily I’d found this forum and the information was interesting. I took the plug off the ccrm and tested for voltage and grounds etc, everything was as it should be except on wire 12 there was no voltage, all the fuses checked out ok. I rigged up a jumper wire and powered up wire 12, the car started and the odometer was displaying numbers.
Today I’ve put a permanent supply to wire 12 through a relay the switching supply coming from fuse 18 (I think) testing step by step I had switching at the relay, I had 12v through the relay, but, and this is were I think theres a second separate fault. The lack of power to the ccrm via wire 12 and the odometer display, I thought these were all lumped together as the same fault.
The car starts and runs fine, but is there a shock waiting to pounce.
Thanks in advance
Bill
