Hello,
Over past few weeks have been servicing my EP3. Engine and box out, timing chain, guides, tensioner, clutch, fork, release bearing, new wheel bearings, new bushes in the whole front end, de-rusted and sprayed the subframe and all wishbones wiring brackets and engine bay. Also had my alternator and starter motor refurbished by a local company.
Car started perfect and runs perfect, however the ABS light is on permanently and the Battery light is on too. All other lights are off. Car is raised at front with wheels off the ground, and front wheels were turning when the engine was ticking over, so maybe the car thinks the front wheels are turning at a different speed to the rears so its thrown the ABS light?
Battery light is a really weird one. Battery sitting at rest is 12.8v and with the car running the battery is measuring 14.4v exactly all the time with no fluctuation.... Bit stumped? Does anyone have any ideas? Things to check?
I didn't have any of these issues before the rebuild. I have all the original earths on the car and I have installed some of my own earths. All check ok and contacts are clean? I also took the alternator back to the Alternator rebuild centred to be tested. They re-tested it and confirmed it was ok...
Any help appreciated. Thanks, Matt
