Hey guys,

Just got my car back from smash repairs to get some minor body repairs done, and from the moment ive started my car, the 4wd lights come on.

It seems as though Attessa is not working as i have not seen any torque being delivered to the front.

I was wondering if this is a fuse problem or something else?

Also, my right headlight is busted too. Took the globe out and the filament is still in goood nick.. i tried changing the globe just to check but it doesnt seem to be working. is this also a fuse problem?

Thanks for your help.

What's the error code coming out of the ATTESSA computer?

Are you sure the headlamp globe is "in good nick"? Some breaks in the filament are hard to see. Hook it to a battery, or test with a multimeter.

There is a fuse box under the bonnet near the drivers side suspension tower. On 32's people pull the fuse to make the car into RWD, and that does cause the AWD light to come on, so check that. IIRC its the fuse closest to the front of the car.

my AWD light is always on, but the awd is working fine, ive had its checked by 3 different mechanics and car elections and all have sed its fine.

If you fix it let me know

If the AWD light is on, then that means there is a problem with the AWD system. When there is an error in the AWD system, it doesn't work.

ive had it checked by 2 different mechanics, also an auto electrician, and they have all sed its fine. i cant work it out but its working fine.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
