Diamond500 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Had a quick question if anyone can answer this. For some reason 4 out of 10 times while i'm driving everything in my car just shuts out and turns back on. Have no idea why this is a new problem i started to have last month. Sometimes within a week i have no problems then out of no where it starts to happen right back up and does it every 4 mins. Was thinking maybe a lose ground? I have a new battery that is not even a year old and can't be it and also have the big 3. But never had problems when i did all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowledge Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 i had this happened to me a while ago, and it was my power wire that i ran touching ground frame, it was to close to the heatshield on the headers and melted the jacket on the wire. everything shut off and turned right back on, that was my problem. i recently had this problem with a car, i tried checking everything and i could not find a thing and it stop doing it, weird. i say just check wires and all for any odd things REFF'SMy linkEBAYhttp://feedback.ebay...ck&myworld=trueI love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.

Emmet Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Checked all the connections on your wiring? Could be something loose and shorting out. i shook this one kids hand and it just folded in mine. long story short i fucked his girlfriendso.. yeah.. You want this to happen to you?

sayhuh? Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Everything in your car? Wouldn't make me think car audio at all, but never know. Being it is a new battery, check your cables on the battery and make sure they aren't loose, but this is odd. You 'should' be able to run without a battery (if car is started) so grounding out a power wire seems plausible, but not sure how it could do the whole car. Nothing surprises me though lol. I'd also check the alt. if you cannot find anything grounding out. Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wccfan12 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Had this problem once, some cars have a special fuse in their under the hood box called an IOD fuse or something like that. Some of them have a black fuse puller on top of them so manufacturers could pull the fuse and save power in the car while it was in shipment, etc. Pull this fuse and replace it (small fuse you can buy at a local parts store) sometimes fuses blow partially and have hairline cracks and might not look blown but cause problems like this. It fixed my problem. Hope this helps!

Carbon Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 My friend had this issue, We found out one of his Big 3 wires was touching the pulley on the alternator. It wore down the jacket and caused his car to "buck" occasionally while driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond500 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 So far just checked everything and the wires all look good nothing touching or bad. Guess will check that fuse to then. Just weird it does this every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayhuh? Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Check your alt? Take your car down and have the batt and alt tested (if they can still do that). Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
