Arrgh
I think I have some ground or other elec problem
Hoping the solution is not behind the dash
Just got the 83 500 SEC
Its a Euro
has an international battery
Battery was down because of storage
Guy I bought it from would start it with help of boost.
Once he got a shock
I charged the battery in the car when I got it to top it off.
I then read in the manual that its not a good thing to do with the battery connected.
Arrgh
I now have a clicking seems to come from dash when I open the door or press on the brake.
I also may have a engine running hot or possible guage problem
since the oil temp guage is a bit eratic
will dod up & then come down then do up in a few seconds.
The thermo was changed as it stuck
its still hot
I think he changes the sending unit today
but the car is still reading up close to 120
I was thinking maybe the clicking & the wierd guages could be related
maybe eevn the heat isn't as hot as it say.
I have seen the gas tank guage move a bit too
thats odd...
Enrigue has it & is trying to see why its running hot
but I was also hoping he could figure out if there is some electrical/guage problem
I'm hoping the battery charging didn't do it
but that wasn't all my fault as it also was done before I bought the car...
I also had trouble unlocking the drivers door.
The door wasn't close all the way so I lubed the hinges w spray lithium grease. Some got on the wires near the hinge that go in the door
I wiped it away gently but it seems the door not opening while I hear vacumn could be related to that as it started about that time...
Door locks fine though...
arrrrgh
Any ides/help would be appreciated...
Thanks
