Club 80-90 Forums

Hello all. I am having a bit of trouble. It all started with the buzzer of doom and flashing oil light. This seemed to sort itself only to start the other day with a flashing water temp light even though the needle said it wasn't hot. This would disappear during the journey and the full beam indicator light and oil light would be lit. Today the buzzer came back, then temp light then full beam & oil light I stopped the engine at a set of lights to shut the buzzer up and the dam thing wouldn't start without a jump. Once jumped however it started another 3 times today.

Spoke to a very helpful and knowledgeable mechanic that recommended that I clean the crowns on the terminals but reading the sticky it doesn't fall into the @not working" category

Help please.

Definitely sounds like a bad ground - loss of grounds causes all sorts of weirdness as the electrickery tries to find a way to ground.
The high-beam light being on is probably caused by that being used as a path to ground.

As your mechanic says - try cleaning up the ground crowns.

May I ask what is the method of accessing these crowns in a LHD truck?

You may!

Well?

Have a look at the "Wiki"( under poor earths )

Yes, I am as well as can be expected. Thank you.

You might also want to check the 14 pin multiplug in the dash binnacle, make sure its not come loose and is firmly connected

Oldie. Have you honestly got nothing better to do than to read posts where you obviously don't have the required knowledge to answer constructively so you chat nonsense

I have managed to just about access the crowns. There are a few terminals that look a bit oxidised but not them all.

Yes thank you I have plenty to do, in fact I am doing it now. I do have the required knowledge. I also do not suffer fools gladly.
Lighten up for ******s sake. If you wish to take a pop at me use pm and I shall give you very short shrift.

Not a pop and no need to hide in PM. Fool? Surely that's the point of a forum. someone requests information and if you have that information then you are there to furnish? Or are you one of these people that prowl around forums trying to make people feel stupid for not knowing as much as you on your chosen subject matter?

You poor sad creature - your diatribe is water off a duck's back. No one on a forum is ' there to furnish '.
Blocked.

Is it just me or is this guy an asre?
