It sounds like alternator whine. These get into your system via ground loops that are usually caused by dodgy earths or having RCAs too close to power wires. They can also be caused by cheap gear or a faulty alternator etc.

Have you just had new stereo gear fitted or did the noise just start up for no reason?

What type of system do you have?

The gear is fairly new about two months old. I have a JVC top of the line deck, mtx splits and jL sub and amp. It was running fine for a while and now the noise. I do have a noisy starter motor on start up though, could it be that? I also had problems with the amp causing my 4wd light to come on...

my amp is mounted right next to the battery and the fuses ect and i found when i move the amp away from there it becomes less of a problem.

i also tried buying some of those streetwires rca's about $40 for 1 and that just made the problem worse, go figure. i even ran the rca's on the outside of the car to see if that would work no go.

u can buy some kinda of thingo that u attach to you alternator and its ment to stop the whine

check to see if your earth is ok, try and keep RCA's as far away from power cables as possible, it's ok if they cross... i don’t see why having the amp in the boot would be a problem, i have a 1600watt amp in the boot and run 4 gauge straight from my battery and had no problems.. never seen my 4wd light come on

u running the front speakers off the amp or deck?

check your suppressor of the alternator, make sure all wire casing is intact, your amp cables should run down one side of the car, your speaker wires the other and your switch wire down the guts, try to keep all wires away from car wiring , make sure you have positive earth conections. 4wd light no idea sorri

      Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary.

      There's another sensor that sits inside the evaporator, that's a C U N T to get to, but can be done without removing the entire unit. Usually it's not the sensor that dies but the actual capacitor in the circuit (part of the plug that dies).

      Putting the climate control CU into diagnostic mode is independent of the ECU. You just have to do the dance prescribed in the manual. No, I do not know what the dance is. I have an R32, so use the dance in the R32 manual. On older cars, I would have said "no, the ECU should not affect whether the A/C works".... but for an R34 that might be wrong. I don't recall the detail, but there was extra mods required to make my R32 A/C work against the R34 ECU. The R34 ECU apparently gets involved in the running of the A/C more than earlier cars did. Theoretically, if the PFC is a true plug in, then it should just work the way that the original ECU does - wrt A/C. But there's always scope for them to have not cared. Nope. Pressure switch out = getting the fridgey out to pump the gas out before pulling the switch. The switch really cannot sense gas pressure unless it is up against the gas.

      Hi guys, thanks for the replies.  I will have to wait till summer to test properly, but it short cycles both when heating and cooling. I’ve ordered a new internal temp sensor that sits under the vent in the steering wheel also, GTSBOY, I have an Apexi FC ecu, I’m assuming I won’t be able to diagnose or would it still work? Could the ecu be causing the problem??   the pressure switch is quite cheap I will get a new one and try it out, hopefully it doesn’t require purging the refrigerant again?
