XF001 93 Posted August 10, 2014 Went to start XF before and nothing. Everything is dead. Battery has heaps of spark. Any ideas on WTF is going on ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigCav 464 Posted August 10, 2014 depends on what you mean by everything but could be your ignition switch or fuseable link wires etc etc do you have 12v supply to the dash? 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XF001 93 Posted August 10, 2014 By everything I mean everything. No dash lights, no headlights, no interior lights, no horn, not a fucking thing. I'm starting to hate this fucking thing. Have charged battery but no help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XF001 93 Posted August 10, 2014 Not sure if it matters, but I have recently converted it from auto to manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigCav 464 Posted August 10, 2014 by recently do you mean just converted it and it wont start or youve had it running since and its recently died? if youve done mechanical work are you sure the earths are all mounted correctly? 1 Charcoalghia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRO250 1,506 Posted August 10, 2014 Have you put the earth strap on the left side of the gearbox? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBS XE 160 Posted August 10, 2014 Check the fusible link. 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XF001 93 Posted August 11, 2014 Has been running since the conversion. Was running fine 6 weeks ago and now nothing. Fusible links look fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XF001 93 Posted August 12, 2014 And the answer is..........battery fucked itself. Charged it for 2 days and only held enough charge to turn it over a few times. Off to get a new battery today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
