while driving the other morning.. all of a sudden my trans light, some other all wheel drive kinda light? came up on the dash ,while all of a sudden the car redlines while its in Drive... like the trans was slipping hard :-/ im travelling at 100 kmh.. so i pull over and i can hear something pumping in the rear of the car.. i had to stop and turn the car off before all the lights went out and returned to normal.. so i go to drive of again, i reached 100 kmh and starts clunking.. this is where i start thinking.. WHY ME !!??.. anyways after weeks of trying to figure it out, i just touched a little plug that plugs into the battery + terminal clamp.. uh ha! the car cuts out.. i see it was a little dirty and green.. so i clean it and now its all good as new!!! :-) no new trans needed !!!! :-) scared me ! dont want to know what one of those trans's are worth.. specially after owning the vehicle for a few months.. SOO!! anyone experianced this ? lol

grounding issue. happens all the time to people who dont maintain their cars

glad it was a cheap and easy fix for you!

After a consult the Leco recommended a complete earthing set up to minimise this type of malfunction
