No Interior Electrics

[jdncomz]

Hi,

I today made the mistake of not disconnecting the battery while undoing the bolt for the thermostat housing. I arced the smanner onto the alternator + conetion.

Now when I start the car I have no dash lights or interior lights and no stereo. Once I give it some revs everything comes to life.

I have checked the fuses and all appear to be okay.

Any ideas what else to check?

Cheers

What are you saying, that once you give it a rev all the lights come back on?

Hmmmm got a multimeter? Check voltage at the parts that arent working and see what changes when you rev the car.

Might be a bad earth or connection at the multimeter? Not to sure it sounds like a bit of an odd one. usually it works or doesnt.

Along with advice above ^^, might of burned a few cells on your battery and/or fried the regulator in you alternator. Once you give it some gas, spins the alt faster to produce current. F*** those electrical gremlins.
