Please help.

Driving down the highway thismorning, first thing i notice my headlight alert (that i've left the headlights on when the car is off) was beeping - yes the parkers were on - After turning lights off the beep stops. Second thing my climate control panel had turned off, no fan no aircon and no lights on the panel - wont turn on after pressing buttons. Third when i was slowing down to turn my power stearing had stoped working. Got out of the car to check the belts and they are all fine.

Any idea's?

Found two blown fuses, replaced them with 15amp (Same) and no difference. Check fuses and they had blown again, replaced with 30amp everything worked fine until i noticed smoke coming from the fuse box area so i removed fuses. Short maybe? Any easy way to find problem?

Arghhhhh, car has been at my family workshop for a few days now and they cant find the problem, nor can i find a wiring diagram for the car.

Might have to take her to an auto electrician.

Can anyone suggest anything else to check? Is there any easy way to disconnect the climate control other than pulling the fuse?

Ok, just took apart the dash and unplugged the climate control, replaced fuse and power stearing working and no beeping from the headlights when the car is on. Turned car off and replaced plugs into climate control, started up and climate control came on, power stearing working, pushed the aircon button and blew the fuse right away + power stearing stopped working.

Whats is most likely going to be, a faulty climate control panel or a short in one of the wires?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
