dc2r light problem

[gheybo]

Hi all

i have just got a problem lately on my dc2r. The problem is when i turn on my lights, my engine switch off automatically and then i turn the engine back on and the lights too its fine. By the way i've got hid kit installed in my car. Does anyone know whats the problem? It just happen a few days ago.

try removing HID and starting the car... turn on headlights... shuts down then its not HID... u need to do some trial and error there... good luck

[Jamezy]

mayb its ur hid's draining all the power from the battery the wattage output of the hid's could be too much ..

I hope I don't have the same problems!

Well i just recently change my battery so i don't think its the battery problem. Also, i had the HID on for about a week with no problem, it just happen recently and i always turn on my car before i turn on my lights.

yeah unplug hids and give it a try..even thoguh its a new batt. still could be the problem.

check your hid specs..it should only be drawing a very low watttage rating.

if not just sell your car to me 10grand..considering its got a problem!

I've think i fix the problem, just need the time to see does it still happens.

It was just the battery connector lose :eek:

[gheybo]

Hi all

I've unplug all the wires and connectors and reconnect them all, but the same thing happens, it only happens sometimes.

I turn on my car, then i turn on my light, then the car switches off, could it be a fuse problem?

Have anyone has this problem before?

Could it be the HID problem? i install them and used them for about a week or two then the problem started to happen

need some help :confused:

[teaseR]

even if its a loose terminal when u start the car.. it should be ok to run off the alternator so that is not the problem.

[Joel The Mole]

not sure if HID have grounding wires, but if the do, make sure there all good. or it could be an instillation fault or a product fault.

[Dy_]

If it was the battery clamp being lose hence its touching sometimes and not others then..you'd have the car starting sometimes and not other times.

[gheybo]

yea the battery clamp was loose as my car didn't start, so i opened my hood and the clamp was off the battery.

But this problem was fixed already

[Dy_]

yeah therefore the problem you had before prob wasnt because of the battery.

[da928]

there may be some sort of wiring problem?

hey bro, make sure all your earths in the engine bay and on the engine are secure, also check if your altenator is charging by starting the car and put a multimeter on the battery, it should read about 13-14.4v if not u got a altenator problem. also try install another earth strap from the negative of battery to a spot on the engine.
Good luck
