Lost Power To Dash/windows

[markdem]

was driving home and the car stopped. lost power to the dash and windows and the engine wont crank over. fuses are ok, will check realys. but i still got power to interior lights and the electric boot and remote central locking still works. doesnt have an immobiliser fitted. can somebody please guide me in the right direction so i can start ripping shit out for testing. i just dont know where those wires would be

took half the dash apart and found some wires attached to the ignition barrel wiring. looks like this thing used to have a turbo timer. snipped the old shit out, soldered everything back the way it should be and started her up

Damn, had this problem in my gtr today.

Dash went, and windows won't wind.

Car still runs.

Found a blown fuse.

Replaced and keeps blowing.

Thought you might offer some insight.

Congratulations on your fix.

Can anyone help with mine?

Extra symptom, when you replace the fuse, the torque split gauge goes straight up and over max.

im not familiar with 32 gtrs or atessa systems in general. is it possible that the torque split device is the cause? if not, theres really not much you can do besides making sure the wires are in good condition and start poking shit with a multimeter. sorry i cant be more of a help man. good luck

all fixed, turns out my reverse switch and attesa wiring had wrapped around my front tail shaft and pulled it apart.

soldered back together, and all good.

got this problem again. so i guess the first time i was wrong... it wasnt the timer. ive tested every relay and check every fuse and im still getting f**k all. does anybody have a clue where to start looking?

Got the same problem on my mates 32 - no luck yet. It also has a torque split controller and only begun doing this after he climbed an embankment recently. Everything seems to be in tact have had it on the hoist and checked "everything".

Loses power to windows, rev tacho and the front torque gauge goes spastic to maximum

Happens when he goes over a bump. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

im getting a mobile electrician in today. ill let you know what he finds

[markdem]

the electrician found what i missed completely...

i had checked the battery terminal BUT i didnt check the little connections coming off the main one. picture speaks for itself

id be double checking the wiring to the gearbox.

that is exactly what mine was doing.

recheck the connections at the back of the gearbox(reverse swith and transfer case wiring).

good luck mate.

thanks mate, checked all that seems to be a-ok - still no solution as of yet. might get him to check his battery terminals as its been relocated to theboot and may have come loose after the collision

thanks for your help
