PAH Donating Members 361 Member For: 16y 3m 12d Gender: Male Posted 25/09/19 10:32 PM Share Posted 25/09/19 10:32 PM Guys, As I've been poking around for the cause of Battery Fail Warning and a stalling issue I found this Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S7QFEVWShvc It shows how the wires feeding to the indicator stalk are sheered off inside the steering column. The car is a BF. The video might help members with a blank dashboard. I might take the steering column cover off my FG just to double check that all is OK. If this problem has afflicted my car, I'm not sure that it'd cause a Battery Fail error but it's worth a check. Any thoughts?

The wiring is to short and having it in high beam plus indicating puts some stress on the wires. Plus the wire must be the cheapest sh*t they could get out of China. It's so brittle, and just crumbles under your hands if you try and solder it.
