Weird ghost in the dash instruments after rebuild

[BigRAWesty]

Yep. I'll try disconnecting over night..
I grabbed the in-laws multimeter.

Ok, so I left battery disconnected over night and still no good..

I have also noticed drivers window doesn't work and the central locking doesn't operate unless the lights are on...

Lol

What is the voltage reading across the back of the alternator with the engine running?

Have go a multimeter so will check this soon.. Any rpm I should aim for, or idle ok??

[93patrol]

idle should be fine westy it should be reading about 13.5v

Bring it up to a fast idle. Make sure it's not over charging.

Is there any chance you may have joined the wrong connectors?, especially ones for the drivers door?

[threedogs]

Would think idle is 750rpm, cant see how that would have changed.
Give the connectors a squirt with CRC or similar, check terminals for loose or broken wires

Yea what I was thinking. So was going to be first point of checking..

I did do some electrical while guts was out. I rewired the rear speakers into the middle doors. But they seem to work fine, it's the front passenger side one which is brand new and crackling.. So possible invoked with the whole issue??

Didn't Cuppa have this problem, maybe not so bad. Has he fixed it yet?

My symptoms not quite the same. Only the fuel gauges affected. As it is, I have followed yendor’s advice & added another earth direct from crank battery to earth, but have not yet used the car for long enough to see if the gauge problem is fixed. (the car can sit for weeks at a time unused). I will feedback once I’ve used a reasonable amount of fuel (could be a while).

We'll fark me I must have walked under a Chinese man On a ladder smashing mirrors...

Apart from all the other shoit going down atm in my life now I have nothing with this farking car.. Not even a light..
So I'm guessing check fuses tomorrow, will go over connections in door and check alternator..

Anyone got anything else to check??

What circuits did you rewire, Kallen? Believe it or not, we had the same sort of trouble with our yota van, and it turned out that rats had chewed some wires together.

[BigRAWesty]

The only wires I changed between working and not were the rear speaker wires. I've removed them from rear doors and put them in the middle doors.
