it seems i am just having a bad month....

after the problem with the engine dying ( https://www.rx8club.com/gulf-rx-8-forum-32/engine-dying-1-a-137583/ ) but now when i am driving my battery light comes on and then i its followed by my power steering light (and power steering goes out) then ABS, Brake, and tht Stability Control loght come on and it feels like all those systems went out... the car still runs but i dont know whats causing this. i just got a new battery recently (about 3 weeks ago) and i have an amp hooked up to it but i have had the amp for a while and never had a probem. i have check all the obvious places for loose wires cuz thats my idea but they all seem fine. anyone here have any idea what would cause this or will i have to spend the money at a shop or the dealer?

BTW: 2004 w/ 37k miles

thanks in advance!

 

Have you tried resetting the ECU yet?

 

Sounds alt. Related......... voltage test while running and while it does this.

 

ANd check the belts if you have not done so already

 

you're still under warranty so you if you dont find a fix should just take it in to the stealership and have them check it out.

 

yeah i did cuz my first thought was that i had busted the alternator belt but its not the case

warranty is for original owner only right? i am the 3rd owner and a salvage title voids that doesnt it?

 

Test your alternator while it's running........Belt tension.......vaccum lines etc...

 

How exactly can you blame issues with the car on bad luck when it's been salvaged?

 

cuz it happened within a week... and yeah i know i was bound to have problems...
