my R woes

Logan360 · May 13th, 2012, 05:49

Hey guys my R has issues. many issues.

1. tracs and abs light. cleaned wheel sensors still on.
2. fan wouldn't turn on, replaced temp sensor and then fan wouldn't turn off so fan is now on a switch.
3. horn doesn't work. Power to horn nostrils is there. don't want to play with steering wheel plug due to air bag.
4. car is not running on all cyls. have replaced plugs, cleaned dizzy, checked all piping.

diagnostics can't pick up any of these issues. Any help would be much appreciated.

Don't just clean the dizzy, replace it and the rotor arm, they aren't expensive. Check the condition of the leads aswell, if they are ancient replace those too.

ABS/TRACS is a common issue, if it comes and goes but makes no noticable difference whilst the light is on, you'll likely need the module repairing - search the 850/70 series forums for more info.

I had the same horn issues and the connector was simply loose in the column, it's easy enough to fix, just be careful. SRS light can be reset by almosy any garage if it comes on and stays on.

Fan, not sure, how old is the thermostat?
