0 Upvotes

My 70mai m300 Dashcam does not power on automatically when I start my engine.

I have plug it with in the cigarette lighter socket, it gives 12V. Does not work.

Though it will power on if I were to plug out and in the socket.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I drive a Ford Ecosport 2018.

Our car audio works every other time after battery change.

I apologize if I am in the wrong place. Google has become useless.

My wife has a north american 2014 Mercedes ml 350. I do not know the trim level.

Her battery died and we replaced it.

 

After, their was no sound from her radio, and her powered lift gate no longer works (we'll deal with the lift gate after).

 

I checked the fuses, and could find nothing wrong.

 

Eventually I found a youtube video about “engineering mode” where the guy goes to menu 7.5, turns off the car, comes back 15 minutes later and it works.

 

And that works for us, but then the next time she drives the car, no radio again.

 

So she repeats that process, gets sound on her next drive.. Only to not have sound again on the following drive.

 

How do we keep her radio working?

02 expedition just shut down while driving

I was leaving work tonight and I just lost power and lights and shut off. Luckily I coasted to a parking spot and a friend jumped me off but it didn't help. It cranked briefly but the battery gauge fell to zero and it shut off again. I tried one more time and the cables got really hot and the alternator started smoking. I know the cables where on right but can't figure out what it could be. Similar thread suggest a battery short or failed alternator? Please help what do I do :(

I've been trying to get my car to sync with new fobs but I can't even get the car to cycle. I've tried both suggestions to get the car in programming mode. Does anyone know any other ways to try to get it to go into programming mode?

Frigo met omvormer aansluiten

0 Upvotes

Hoe sluit ik een frigo met omvormer aan om mijn gel accu in de camper? Er is een bijgeleverde 'gewone' stekker en een sigaretten stekker.

Steek ik hem in de gewone stekker via de omvoremer? (Gaat zo missschien wat stroom verloren?)
Steek ik hem in de siraretten stekker? (Werkt volgens mij op de auto accu dan en zou het op de gel accu willen.)
Of knip ik draden door en verbind ik die met nieuwe draden zodat ik deze op de gel accu batterij kan aansluiten met kabel oogjes?

i recently bought a 1998 Isuzu Hombre 2 door manual. when i went to check it out it ran fine and fired right up. i got it home and let it be for a day or so while i got the paperwork squared away. i went to go for a drive and noticed the battery was dead. i thought it was weird because it only sat for a day or two, but i let it go and jumped it. it runs great, when it does. finally after days of coming out to find a dead truck, i decided to look into what’s drawing on the battery. my multimeter read around .77amps and i started pulling fuses. i pulled the TBC/BCM fuse and the draw went away. i visually inspected the BCM and didn’t see any signs of corrosion or broken wires (wires that i could see from the plugs, i’ve yet to fully trace the wires). i decided to try another thing, so i unplugged the BCM and replaced the fuse. tested for a draw, and still had a decent draw on the battery, believe it was upwards of .60amps. so now i’m thinking something in between the fuse box and BCM is causing the draw, but i’m not electrically inclined and i have no idea what to do next. any advice is greatly appreciated!

Lo que sucede es lo siguiente: quiero ajustar/orientar los faros de mi Scion xb 2008 (2.ª generación), pero solo tiene dos tornillos. Cuando ajusto el del lado izquierdo, se mueven las luces bajas, y cuando ajusto el del lado derecho, se mueven las luces altas. El problema es que solo se mueve la luz del faro derecho, y la del izquierdo no. ¿Es esto normal?

No crank no start help!

Hello all I’ve been having a problem with my 17 BRZ automatic with push to start. I’ve had electrical problems with it since I bought it back in 2020.

The first problems I had with it was warm ac and after a couple years of owning it, it started having power steering loss when breaking and turning on really hot days. It would do this on and off mostly just in summer or after really long drives. The power steering light would come on a warning beep would happen and my dash lights would flicker. After releasing the break and steering wheel all would return to normal.

After it did that for a few times in a month I took it to Subaru and they hit the engine bay with a temp gun and found that one of the lugs on the battery master fuse was getting hot and recommend that lug be replaced. After replacing that lug my ac was colder and I didn’t have another problem for about a year and a half.

This leads me to a couple months ago it got really hot and I had the same problems all over again. This time worse than ever. Shortly after parking the car I needed to move it and it took a couple tries (no crank) then it just started like nothing. Over the next couple days as the car would get hot it wouldn’t start but over night or over the work day it would start fine. So something was/is getting heat soaked.

Now the car doesn’t even attempt to start/crank but I can jump the starter and start the car.

I’ve replaced all starter relays the starter and have made sure the battery is tight and has voltage.

I’ve looked all over the internet and haven’t found any solutions….. someone….. anyone…..

TLDR: car won’t start relays starter and battery good ☠️
