Dashboard Lit up like a Christmas Tree
I pulled into my parking spot at work today and suddenly many of the dashboard lights go on. These include: Steering, battery, stop lamps, brake, and ABS. The car was running fine and didn't seem to have any problems. I turned it off and started it back up again and those lights stayed on.
Any ideas? Should I "reboot" my car by unplugging the battery? Jeff |
YIKES!!!
Yes, I would disconnect, and see what that does. Keep us posted! |

Thanks for the suggestions. I just unplugged it (after running an errand with the same lights on). I'll let you know the results!
Thanks, jeff |
Jeff, I had that problem as well. With me, it's the case of grounding. The pin 1 of the tranny harness was loose. The car lit up like a x-mas tree. Go to your local sears and check your charging system. If it is the alternator, replace that. Otherwise, check your battary. Then the horrific job of checking your ground -- good luck with that one.

I just got a new battery last week. I will have the alternator checked and if that's ok, I'll take the car to the dealer to check it out. If it is a tranny harness pin, I had the whole transmission replaced about 6 months ago, so they should fix that under warranty. They better anyway.

If you've just had the battery replaced, the first thing that would be suspect would be the battery connections. Make sure that all connections are secure, including the ground wire to the body that resides just in front of the battery. |
It was the alternator!
Just an update: I got stranded on the side of the road tonight after my car lost power. Freaky experience, but I'm ok! So, it was the alternator. FYI kids: If your dashboard starts lighting up, it's probably your alternator. I'll try to change it out tomorrow, provided I get the part right away.
Thanks for the help! Jeff |

Uh... I know how it is like to be with the SVX or rather SVX to die on the side of the road... But it sure is worth it when the baby is running Lwin |

Stretching the truth
Randy, it's a 980 hp SVX, not 1,000, so stop overexagerrating!
