I assume the 10amp is in the passenger footwell??
So fuse 10 did blow Put new one in, hooked up gauges turned key on and it blew again will unhook all gauges and see if it blows another tomorrow thank you all so far also tach does not work and also suspension light and fuel are all not working which is too be expected everything you all told me is true so far as expected just need to start isolating things so all suggestions are welcomed I figured I would unhook all gauges I can get too and rear shocks as that is all easy for now
I just realised the Airbag ECU is also connected to fuse 24. Looks like you're going to be busy Maybe it would pay to buy a resettable 10 amp fuse?
I would first disconnect the Vertical Accelerometer (behind the front bumper) as suggested by Ian earlier. Makes a lot of sense that it could be the accelerometer shorting (what, amongst other things, is affected by a big vertical shock on the front axle caused by railroad tracks - the Vertical Accelerometer behind the front bumper).
So from parts diagram’filtered accelerometer Accelerometer sensor Anti lift sensor not sure I have even seen these so which one and any advice on how to get to it
What is F1 default with in-op speedo? Just another add on for things to consider....In a big bounce like that you may want to check the fuse box integrity. I have had that printed board on the front compartment box crack on solder joints and on the printed film inside. Maddening to figure out. I swear to God everything in this car runs through fuse 24.....
P/N 154310 (filtered sensor) Image Unavailable, Please Login The front bumper has to be removed. That's why I suggested removing the plug on the back of the frunk relay panel (just to confirm that that was the culprit)
That is an incredibly detailed, accurate, nicely framed, and exposed picture that gets right to the heart of the question. Damn, how did you end up with a picture of a car in such a nice garage.... wait, it's my garage !!!
I think someone mentioned it above Defaults to seconf]d gear only but if you accelerate then select neutral then grab a gear it goes to 6 from there you can downshift normally
So I am disconnecting the verticle wires from under the front bonnet by unpinning 2 wires I guess I will have a look Both power wires to vertical I assume
Just disconnect the plug first to see if the fuse remains unblown. If the fuse doesn't blow, you only need to unpin the 12 volt green/white wire on pin #4. I don't think I've unpinned those kinds of connectors before. Do you have to remove the brown clips? Image Unavailable, Please Login
When you do decide to pull the front bumper off, you may want to try fixing the old vertical sensor before replacing it. The last gentleman who had this issue, I believe he just stuck the metal block back in place. Whether this was done with glue or double-sided tape, I don't know.
Actually, if that metal block is floating around inside the accelerometer, maybe it would be best to also de-pin the violet (#6) and green/grey wire (#9). You don't want to damage the Suspension ECU.
Image Unavailable, Please Login J This is the only bunch passenger front bonnet I could find Totally diff than the picture Image Unavailable, Please Login in my experience you remove the brown locks
So when you said on the back of the relay panel do you mean in the front bonnet but on the back side of the panel that has all relays and fuses from the front passenger footwell ?? I can’t tell where in the car that is and have never been into that.
I think he meant ... remove the relay board from the passenger foot well and access the area at the back of the relay board.
There is a fuse/relay panel in the frunk the same dimensions as in the passenger footwell. It’s under a small carpeted cover held down by two thumbscrews similar to the one you remove to access the battery cutoff switch, but on the opposite side of the car. You have to unbolt the relay panel and flip it over to access the connectors. You shouldn’t need to remove any of the large frunk liner sections.
I'm starting to think N. American cars don't have these frunk relay panels. Taz.... only one bolt holds down the relay panel.
Well there is another fuse and relay panel left side of the car, under the small cover even for US cars.

This group never ceases to amaze me. I would have never wanted to own one of these cars without you all.
