ok heres a weird one
went out this morning to go to work , and i noticed the dash clock had reset itself , fired up the engine , and started as always ..
went to turn my spot lights on and heard the radio make a crackle like it does when i turn it on ....
went to work , and was driving around town today , and when i pressed the brake pedal ,it made the same crackle ....
went to start her again a few minutes ago , just to see what was going on .... so i started the engine everything was grand ... went to turn on my HIDS and they came on , fine .... went to try the spots and the same crackle again , next thing the car stuttered and all the dash lights came on and went off again , and then the HIDS started to flicker ....
so i turned her off
anyone able to shed any light( pardon the pun) on this ,
im thinking maybe the cold weather has shagged the battery ,
the alternator is fooked ,
or have i a dodgy relay in the rear lights
or a bad earth ....
or could this have anything to do with a starter motor thats on the way out ... as a couple of times this week , its made a noise when it disengages ..
any help on this would be greatly appreciated ..
cheers
