My '97 has had the door locks disconnected for some years due to some moron trying to add an aftermarket security system and trashing the door lock wiring. Apparently they never got the system to work and ended up disconnecting the wiring altogether because of a draw on the system. Could be something like that.
Actually, having looked at your other thread, you might try focusing on the TCU and associated wiring. Your alternator could have fried it, and it might be the cause of your trans issues. What you described sounds like it could be in limp-home mode (FWD, only 3rd, and reverse). Harvey knows quite a bit about trans troubleshooting, so hopefully he'll chime in. |
Wasn't following this over the weekend as the MotoGP was on, and Casey won.
Yes it looks like the high voltage has got at a few units. As you say the TCU has been affected, with no electrical responce. All the units that were on at the time will have had the higher voltage hit them, some blow the fuse in time, some don't and die, like the phone battery.
