N15 VZR Electrical Problem URGENT

Muttly · 11-07-2006, 01:21 PM

Hey. I had the exhaust manifold out of the car today to get a small crack welded. When it was going back in it hit off something and the altneator sparked. SInce then I have no wipers, indicaors (or hazard) or any of the dash, ie no revs, speedo, temp, fuel, tell tales, odomoeter, clock. Everything else in the car is working, well anything I've checked. I have checked all the fuses and they seem to be fine so I'm hoping theres a relay or something easy to fix burnt out.
Can anyone help me?

Also check all fuses.

All the fuses are fine. I even checked them with a multimeter. When I rev the car past 5400rpm (on my rsm) everything comes on. However there is no charge being generated from the altenator so I'm guessing its that thats gone. I've one got now and will be putting in today so I'll post up when I know. Thanks guys.

Get a multimeter put it on the poles of the battery, if its charging should read 14.4v or near it, if its reading less than 12v the alternator is gone.

Its only reading 11.4v. I got a new altenator last night. I had to go up to POrt Laoise to get it. I got it off Brian (The Bom). Remember the guy in the white VZR I brought to the dyno day? He's got a spare written off VZR and let me take it.

It was a combination of the 75a main fuse and the altenator killing itself. A new one of each is now in place and working fine.
