HELP !!! GU just lost all power and stopped dead !!!

Had this GU for a week. Went down the road for coffee, and when I started it, the engine light came on for the first time (the little yellow Engine Symbol)

Anyway, got to within 100mtrs of home, and as I went around the corner, all power was lost, the engine shut down, and lost all steering and power.

Tried to start it again, and the engine light won't go out, and it just turns over as if its been flooded . . .

Anyone got any idea what so ever ??

I tried turning it over about 5 times, but you can hear the drain on the battery :(

I'll take anything at the moment

Cheers

How do I reset the computer ?? will disconnecting the battery and all power trip it ??

no idea on how these 4 potters work...... but yes, disconnect the battery for 30 minutes or so

Yeah disconnect the battery for a while, check some of the earth straps as well

swap your air con relay with your ECM relay under the dash

Hi mate = you have just installed the boost gauge from memory. Might be worth checking that you have it connected in the right place and/or haven't knocked a pipe or wire while you were doing it.

Good read that other thread. Thanks. Pity the closest dealer is 100kmls away, or I would buy one this morning.

Have done mate. I did tap into the main Earth point in the foot well yesterday, for my UHF and Boost gauge, and checked everything is right there and all is good.
Going to hook the battery up again soon, and maybe swap out the relays, like TD mentioned above.

don't usually freak out like this, but for a 2 week old GU in my hands, I just had $$$ signs running through my head. So happy this forum is here, as I reckon I would be getting ripped off, by locals, because they have a monopoly on their respective trades :(

I'll let you know how it all goes.

Checked Earth and seems ok.

I tried starting it and a couple of times, it started then the revs went sky high, and then it died again ??

On that diagram which is the ECM relay ?? In that other thread, they say Brown, from the OP, and then others say theirs is blue ??

I have the brown top most relay, and the other three in the diagram ?? there is nothing on the Fuse panel saying which is which ??

some apparently are brown just swap with air con
as suggested. only do one thing at a time as well
reading the link it says top right is the offending relay

Ok no go it still just turns over and that's it.
Any other ideas ??


Tapping it out . . .
