my car is going crazy like its posessed or having a seizure or something!
nothing in the cabin works;
-lights of any sort
-cluster
-climate controls
-stereo
-windows
etc.
certain times, such as when i rev it hard, or go over slight bump itll work temporarily. but doesnt stay on, time that it is on is uncertain. its usually a flash.
so my wipers would go on n go wild. tach will jump like crazy. blinkers dont work when rest of anythin dont work. and no interior lighting for night driving.
had this problem since i bought the car, however seems to have gotten worse. i remember while driving the car home for first time all of a sudden everything turned on n worked. now nothing works (permenentily)
i think it could possibly be a loose connection for a harness or something to the interior?
anyone know? help me out. thanks!
check ur battery if u sometimes have problems on start up, u might have some gunk on the (i dunno the technical name for it) nipples (+ -) and its causing your whole car to be wierd, if it is this, take offthe things connecting to the battery, clean it very well and the lil clamps and put greese on it and put it on tight … happened to my tiburon … if not that, check ur fuses (i dont think this is the problem) and check if ur car is properly grounded. other then that i have no idea
Start with the main power wires at the fuse panel inside the car and go from there… you will have to break out a volt meter (or test light if thats all you can get your hands on) and start tracing the power. Wiggle the wires until you find the little bugger causing all your problems.
Hey man sounds to me like a ground wire problem if it was a power prob i dont think it would effect all that stuff at once like that but with grounds you will find lots of things that run off different fuses will have comen grounds so if it were me I would trace your ground in the car first.
later

dont tear anything out just yet, like the guy above said, try finding out if its the ground thats screwing u over, check ur battery terminal. usually the fuses for the interior on under the drivers side dash (i have only seen this on two of the cars i own so dont count on it) and usually hidden. hope that helps
The fuse box is right above the foot rest, in the cabin. Under the bonet fuse boxes are behind battery and under air filter. You should only have to check the cabin. Most likly multiple fuses. I know the windshield wipers, interior lighting, and cluster all run on the same fuse, I think also the radio and temp controls. Every thing is one fuse. I remember when mine blew everytime I started the car the windshield wiper would go crazy than stop.
i checked out his car 2day… and it was sum freaky shit… when u start the car… the engine and everything runs properly… but all the electrical stuff doesnt… ( cluster, climate control, tail lights) i didnt try the windows… forgot… anyways… the only time it works is when u rev up the engine high into the 4-5000 rpm… then evrything flickers for 3 sec. and turns off again… it doenst stay on… but everytime u rev… it flickers and off it goes. head lights work thou… but the lights dont pop up…
did u try maybe checking the battery terminals? or trying a different battery? the battery might just have enough juice to start up, and then it keeps itself running, but not enough to power the interior, nor it wants to charge, might be a possibility but then again im a n00b
aight well this cars battery is new and always been charged.
the altenator was also replaced with a new one but it still doesnt seem to be working properly. the altenator still doesnt recharge the battt or give power to the electronics or anything.
the terminals car nice and clean soo it has nothing to do with the battery terminals.
ive seen and driven this car myself and its pretty freaky tha way it reacts. but now its far worse.
seems to me like a loose connection on something. dunno wut yet tho. havent gotten anytime to tear apart this car yet.
if it is a loose connection and in the interior, id get it fixed asap, i have heard so many stories of some kids who grounded their amps wrong causing it to spark and catching the interior on fire. but other then that, beats the hell out of me lol
