andyrag Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi, I've been driving today on corrugated roads in Namibia and suddenly the engine began to lose power, the battery and oil warning lights came on and the engine cut out. I restarted the engine and it was fine for 5 mins before it did the same thing again and again.... Any ideas as to what could have happened? It seems like something might have been knocked loose but I can't find anything.... Any help would be appreciated... Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Se7enUp Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Check the relays under the drivers seat. Hope it's as simple as a loose relay - it's a common problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 If the engine stops running the battery & oil lights will come on naturally, since the alternator is no longer charging and the oil is no longer being pumped. Sounds like a loose connection cutting the power to the engine/ECU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyrag Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Thats what it was, thanks for your help. Got it rewired and earthed properly to the battery and it seems fine now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
