At speed?

Might likely be wheel bearing...if so it will get worse when you corner one particular way.

 

[cblancergsr]

yer possibly could be a collapsed wheel bearing, or could be even a tyre that is feathered

i work at kmart tyre and auto in ipswich if your out my way feel free to drop in

 

[brisvr4]

Where abouts are you staying in Brisbane Dave?

 

[youda]

Hey guys had a look at my tyres and they were all low, courtesy of thoose bloody automatic tyre inflators, on top of that one tyre now has cracked sidewalls and needs to be replaced. i dont suppose anyone has a spare 205/40 18 spare. just to make a great night i lost my tail lights and dash lights last night. they went right in front of me, replaced the fuse and it blew as well. has this happened to anyone before (like a common fault so i know where to start looking).

 

[youda]

sry, im in sunnybank madana st

 

[cblancergsr]

ive never seen losing tail lights and dash light and continuely blowing fuses
maybe make a tool up of a head light bulb and 2 wires too where the fuse connects too and then find pull ever connector of and when ever the light goes out is where the problem may be

ive done that on a magna when it kept blowing the main efi fuse and i dont see why i shouldnt work on another fuse

Thats pretty close to me Dave. I'll drop you a line and we can have a meet up mate

 

[JETGSR]

Your such a nice bloke Tim!

 

[youda]

It has done this before on a magna i used to own, the tail lights are wired through the dash lights so that you know when the tail lights are blown. i cannot remember how i fixed the problem last time. (and no it wasnt a blown bulb last time.

 

[MDK87]

JETGSR you have the nastiest avatar!

 

[rob323]

Holla if I can be of assistance.

 

[cblancergsr]

its more then likely a dodegy connection somewhere thats short circuiting the wiring for the tail lights but its a case of finding the voltage drop and repairing

 

[youda]

is it possible the there is a connection under the cd player, i replaced it the day before and there was some shocking wiring from previous install. i could really use a vr4 wiring diagram if anyone has one available.

 

[brisvr4]

Have a look here Dave. This guy had a similar problem only his lights were staying on. I'd say the area around the console is the culprit!
PS. I'll give you a call in the next couple of days mate
