Big Electric Problems Need Help

[Pattygtst]

I let my girlfriend drive my car and she may have messed with my apexi turbo timer. Now my electrics is f**ked. Basically the turbo timer now wont even turn on, the clock is not working my aircon/air has the dash display but does not vent air and my immobileser keeps turning on after i have started the car and i have to unlock it every 5 mins while driving. My car has shut down a few times to whilst driving, it made a ticking noise like when your battery is flat too. Could this be battery related cause i have let it go flat by leaving the lights on twice this week but i seems fine now. or maybe could it be a fuse, but that doesn't explain the immobilser

Checked the fuses and there all ok. The clock doesn't work either. If anyone knows anything please do tell.

Don't blame the missus, your battery is gone for due to battery being over drained.

Also immobilizers do funny things at low voltage.

Battery might be salvagable, but most likely will die in the arse when you least want it too.

but if i get a new battery will that fix my clock, turbo timer, fan and immobilser? Thats the problem.

Before you buy a new battery check that your alternator is charging properly.

It should read at least 14volts when the engine is running.

When my alt. was dying the warning light didn't come on but I had weird problems with almost everything electrical and my alarm /immobiliser was the most sensitive to the low voltage.

You killed a battery TWICE IN ONE WEEK, and the problems you are having are the fault of your gf driving your car?

Your battery will not be a happy camper. Get a new battery.

[Pattygtst]

Yes i left the lights on twice in one week. This is the first time it ever happened to me and it was twice in one week. Key word in my first post " she may have messed my car up" i am not blaming anyone i am just stating what happened so i can have other opinions.

[Pattygtst]

Just turned on car to move it somehwere else, started fine then shut down a few metres down. Then started it up fine again, same thing happened it shut off. Now it wont even start. WTF. Anyone know for sure this is the battery

Do you have an r32 gtst by any chance? When your key is in the on position, does any of the normal 'reds' come up?

its a r33 gtst s2. Its definately not the battery. We tested it and its fine. It has to be the turbo timer. Apexi pen one There settings on there for a/f, o2, batt, and timer. I was never shown how to use it by Xspeed (guys couldnt give a shit there) but i figured not to f**k with anything but the timer. I know my gf fiddled with it and she didnt know how to change the timer but changed something. I wasnt there at the time so i cant be sure but i know its not the battery.

lolz make to show never let gf touch car lolz that problem sounds bad lets us know how u fixed it when u do

[Pattygtst]

no probs will be taking to auto elec soon. My money is on the immobilser and a burnt out relay. I dont think she had anything to do wit it.

[mid life crisis]

do a google search on ya brand of timer there are instructions on how to set it .

keep prssing the button till it reads voltage that will tell if ya battery is ok or starting to fail

[Pattygtst]

Ok problem solved. It was the ignition under the dash that was loose or disconected
