  • Warning Lights - strange behaviour

    G'day guys,

    Some interesting behaviour over the last week..

    1. Thursday afternoon I drove a five hour trip without issue - except that the cruise light would flash - thought that strange and that it used to be solid when activated...

    2. On the way home on the Sunday (same 5 hour trip), twice within 15 mins, all the lights on the dash flashed on momentarily and then back to normal - thought I was a bit low on power too, but only a bit (ie not limp home mode)

    3. Monday night, parked after driving to work and back - went out to drive again, and got nothing from turning the key - no headlights, no power at all.. (note I did have a ChipIt chip installed during the day) - I checked the fuses, not sure which one I was looking for - gave the ChipIt chip a shake on its mount - car started and was fine today.

    The only problem I can replicate is the cruise light flashing.

    Any thoughts welcome!

      Guessing from the post that the initial issues with cruise and the dash warning lights illuminating are prior to the ChipIt install?
      When you tried to start the car on the monday night, did you still get your accessories starting up? Or was it "completely dead" ?

      Have you checked your battery terminals for a good clean connection? And that all nuts are tight? (basic I know, but have to ask...)

      The cruise light specific issue I'm not sure about... You mention all the fuses are good, checked both the drivers foot well and the engine bay fuse boxes? Coul be many things speed sensor, ABS, even heard of blown brake light fuses affecting cruise control systems.

        G'day Matty,

        Yes, all prior to the ChipIt install - except the issue at '3'

        No accessories - just dead! - yes, checked the battery terminals, clean and solid.

        Blown brake light fuse - now I know I did that (blow the fuse) - will replace and see how that goes - thinking that's nothing to do with the other issues though...

          I had something similar happen to about three weeks after buying my current 09 120 V6. This did'nt involve the cruise light but the end result was the same .... no go!

          I was driving along at about 100kph when I lost all power, it felt like it was running on only 4 cyclinders. All the gauges stopped working, and all instrument lights went out. I quickly hit the hazzard light switch, to warn those behind me, cut across two lanes and stopped in the brakedown lane. The hazzard lights then when off and the engine died?
          I waited about 20seconds, switched the ignition off, then on, and everything came back to life. I checked all the obvious electrical things but could'nt fault it. The dealer had it for two days and said that they could'nt find a problem.

          It's never happened again???????
