battery light on?

[sx moneypit]

Check those things out and i will get back with you in the morning.We will get this thing fixed!

[crsilvia13]

yeah i was getting power and everything but i just took it down to a show to see what they say

[sx moneypit]

Keep us posted,i want to know what they find.

[crsilvia13]

yeah i should be getting it back today so ill let you know what they find out today

[sx moneypit]

Good ,it will probably be something stupid.

[crsilvia13]

oh im sure it will be or even something simple that i may have overlooked,and i got another offer on my car but it was for a 93 vr4.

what do you think about those cars ive got a lot of mixed opinoins about those car

[sx moneypit]

I am not a real big fan of Mitsubishi cars.The vr4 is a pretty complex car compared to 240's.The engine bay is cramped and electronic parts are very expensive.I have worked on a few of them and they are difficult to work on.

[speedeast]

I love the VR4, but I'll never buy DSM...

[crsilvia13]

yeah the bay is a little clustered but who knows and i got the car back after i got a new alternator put in but the battery light is still on the shop said they couldnt find anything wrong with it.

its not dying now but who knows i have to take it for a 1000mile trip in a couple days

[sx moneypit]

They couldn't find anything wrong?

[crsilvia13]

yeah but the light is still on so ill be going to denver in a couple days and ill take it to the main nissan place and let you know what they have to say about all this

[sx moneypit]

If the alternator light is still on you sure need to get it checked before you go anywhere!Did the shop you took it to tell you the alternator was charging?

[crsilvia13]

yeah they said it was charging and the car hasnt died so i dont know but tomrrow ill be leaving wisconsin to drive to denver so i hope that the car makes it all the way out there

[sx moneypit]

Better check it yourself to see if it is charging!

[crsilvia13]

ok so i was going through the wires behind my dash making sure that everything was in good condition and plugged in the right way.

after about a half hour of checking things and rewrapping other wires i put it all back together and the battery light magically turned off

[speedeast]

So I'm guessing you fixed a short. That's great! I hope this works for you. Were they the stereo wires or just other miscellaneous dash wires?

[sx moneypit]

I hate it when cars fix themselves! Anyway good luck on your trip,hope you don't have any more problems.You going skiing ?

[jaCkee]

i didnt see anyone comment about your ebrake light coming on then turning off usually that indicates your low on brake fluid check the fluid fill if needed.

[sx moneypit]

When the alternator flakes out it can cause the brake light to illuminate too.

[crsilvia13]

yeah im moving back to denver and there was an odd buzzing sound coming from behind the steering wheel now.

any ideas on what that would be? and ill try and out some fluid in the reservoir and see what happens

[sx moneypit]

Does it sound like a relay buzzing? Does it do with the key on engine off?

[crsilvia13]

it only does it when my foot is on the gas for an extended amount of time(like 30 seconds) and no it wont do it if the engine is off it sounds like its in the steering column and the ebrake light is on but it goes on and off when that sound starts

[sx moneypit]

There is a bulb check relay behind the dash on the left side of the steering column .Does the noise sound like it is coming from that area?
