Maybe your alternator took a dump.

Chrischeezer · 10-20-2012, 07:31 PM

Alternator problem, the car must of been running off the battery before you stopped the engine
Remove the alternator and have it tested, replace it
And charge the battery on 2 amps for 24hr.

but what about the relays clicking? what is all that about? is it normal when the alternator stops working?

Yup. Clciking and buzzing are normal in this case.

one day my car didn't start and i thought it was my starter, i went to tested and my starter was ok and problem was the clutch ASCD CUT RELAY, thought it may help

240sr20de t · 10-23-2012, 07:58 PM

the thing is that it did crank but only heard the relays clicking really loud while cranking it .. the only thing i can think of is the alternator (which im taking off tomorrow to have it checked ) and the ignitior chip thats it ...i hope it is the alternator :s

240sr20de t · 10-24-2012, 02:12 PM

i think that plug goes to your oil pressure sending unit. is there a clip under that cover?

240sr20de t · 10-24-2012, 03:03 PM

so does it have something to do with the probem im having? and the plug looks exactly like the photo (the one on the right)

240sr20de t · 10-25-2012, 12:50 PM

anyone? please?

ultimateirving · 10-25-2012, 02:03 PM

Not likely man it only causes the oil light to come on, dont think it affects the ECU.
you can rehook it up, the sending unit is next to the OIL filter

240sr20de t · 10-25-2012, 08:46 PM

ok well ill check my alternator tomorrow to see if it is the problem thankyou verymuch

240sr20de t · 11-06-2012, 11:07 AM
