I have a BA typhoon with 90000kms. It has been modified and has been running fine for a good year or so, but has started to develop a few electrical glitches... There are a few different issues and I am unsure if they are all related so I thought I'd list them down and see if any of you guys could help out. It should also be noted that I have only just recently installed a new battery and brand new coils.Battery light flickers under load. As soon as boost comes on the battery light will intermittently flicker. There has been the occasional time it will stay on hard for about 30 seconds and then turn off. It also seems like the traction control is trying to come on under load at this point too, even with it off. At first I thought it might have been the clutch starting to slip but you can definately hear that distinct traction control noise. It doesn't do the traction control thing all the time.It will also sometimes loose revs and occasionally stall at idle. I'm pretty sure this happens 90% of the time in the wet. I have had times when it has been wet and I go to start the car and it will start, and as soon as it gets up to its idle revs, will drop back down and stall straight away. Rarely has this happened when the weather has been dry. I have plugged my flash box in and looked for fault codes right after it has stalled but have never found any fault codes.If anybody has any ideas please fire away!Cheers,Jez.

The battery light is an indication of alt failure not the battery itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
