Hughesy Posted 17April, 2014 Report Share Posted 17April, 2014 G'day gents. Hope Easter is kind to you all Off to kangaroo valley tomorrow and I just took car out for a pre run, which has revealed the possibility of an electrical fault. Whilst in motion there was a momentary loss of power, like a miss. Lasting a mere second. It did this 4 times over. 15 Klm run. Power was immediately returned.. The only other warning apart from the miss was that all the warning lights flashed on. Again for less than a second. The car idles and runs perfectly otherwise. Any suggestions please. Should I take the porsche or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 17April, 2014 Report Share Posted 17April, 2014 I'm going to hazard a guess at ignition switch, do you have lots of keys on the key ring with your porsche key? You might find jiggling the key a little in the barrel gives the same result if you want to troubleshoot it, otherwise I'd be looking between the battery and starter When you say warning lights do you mean everything? Or just generator(alternator) light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted 17April, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 17April, 2014 Russ, Everything . All the lights that show up on pre ignition. And only the ignition key and alarm on the key holder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted 17April, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 17April, 2014 I guess maybe DME. Checked DME 10 amp fuse. All good. I'll look into it. Thanks T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted 17April, 2014 Report Share Posted 17April, 2014 not sure what car you have, but since theo mentioned DME. Speed and refrence sensors? try giggling them or tapping with a screwdriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnr356 Posted 18April, 2014 Report Share Posted 18April, 2014 battery terminals tight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99TS3 Posted 18April, 2014 Report Share Posted 18April, 2014 I would check your earth strap or replace it altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberpunky Posted 18April, 2014 Report Share Posted 18April, 2014 Yep my money is on loose earth strap/batt terminal. Could be ignition switch but check all your grounds first as they are a lot easier to sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted 19April, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 19April, 2014 G'day gents. Went through all your suggestions. Nothing revealed. All was tight and secure. Soooooo I thought I'd pull out all fuses and relays. Clean and re secure tightly. Drove 200 Klm today and problem seems solved. On another note where do we buy relays from specifically no 53 for the window washers. A big Ty to all for your help Regards hughesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
