Possible dimmer short - 30/09/2002 07:45
OK...another question for the ages:
While driving with the lights on I get some ground loop whine only through the radio. At time, when I flash the hi-beams the entire system goes down then comes right back up with the battery icon being displayed but without actually re-booting.
To make it even more interesting, when this happened yesterday I got this horrible whine with the player on (not just the radio). And finally, after a while (15 min) the whine totally disappeared on the player.
Now, the easy answer is not to use the hi-beams...but for the sake of closure, would anybody have a probable solution. (I'm guessing there is a short in the dimmer wiring connection somewhere along the line)
Thanks
Ed
