powersteering + heaters

[edwcorst]

hi,

ive read through a couple of threads about this and it says that if all 3 are not working then its the ignition barrell. (rear heater , powersteering etc) well i tried that and nothing happened so what else could be causing this problem?

it happened about a week ago but then worked again and now its stopped all together also the battery light is only on dash...

Cheers

sounds more like an alternator issue (mines fucked and half the stuff in my car doesnt work) battery light is on too

ah ok... if i check that the output on the battery is 14v when running then this will mean that the alternator is fine? if its not the alternator then what could it be?

thanks

you wanna cjeck the battery is getting charge from the alternator

if its not the alternator im not sure

When you say you checked the ignition, did you try this?

ye i tried that mate... tried some wire to both and then i didnt know if the cable was any good so i cut the cables and attached them and it still doesnt work... i think that problem is something different even though the symptoms are the same my battery light is on.

mine did this, i jus bridged the fuse board and it works!! or i cut the 2 ignition blocks off (they had melted) and soldered the 4 wires together and its never gone wrong since.

crankshaft pulley maybe - but could be other things
