turbominicooper Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 right so car is on the road driving lovely... happy days. night drive and half speedo bulbs were out... fine i used a torch. horn wasnt working so replaced relay... beep beep working again. drove at night then switched torch off and realised all speedo was lit - ok result. then fan stopped working... swapped relay out for good one and still nothing so hard wired it to ignition... ok cooling again. go for drive and now the battery light is constantly lit, and so is the catalytic heat sensor (this is an NA loom running a turbo ecu) and then the engine management light comes on - is this genuine fault or gremlins again (ill need to troubleshoot). is this just the 25yr old electrics? should of just left the horn relay alone haha.
