Got the switch from Orielly Auto, BWS..i think.. and installed it Monday. Battery light stayed on at first, adjuststed it, and it did nothing, adjusted again and worked like new. Probably 5 or 6 starts on Monday without incident, then Tuesday morning, it is cold and it acts just as it had been. Started, ket run fo a few, then off for a few and restart. 3 out of 3 times I had a bit of issue with stating. After the drive to work, shut it off and it restarts just fine.
It is like the battery is unhooked, you got nothing, then all the lights will come on, then you can start it, but it wont always start and sometimes the lights cut out again like its a short or its unplugged. Battery is all good, I do have an aftermarket radio, which I plan to take out and re-install the factory one, since when this happens, the radio flickers and beeps and resets and sometimes wont turn on at all until you turn key all the way back and restart it.
Do I need to re-align the gear again, because I thought it was aligned this time, but I guess I could have been off by a tooth? Sound more like a short? Is there something else I need to look at?
It hasnt left me stranded yet, but it takes its sweet time to start sometimes. I hate to have it acting up when it is cold out. Help....
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.
