tooSavvy Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 ....... Well..... Not Quite, or so it seems 🧐 When I unclamped the battery and went to remove the +/- clamps >>> the Red + just came off... No twisting or undoing [funny 🤔] the Plain - Earth was good and nipped ✔️ No corrosion or anything, no damage to posts [skinny Jap style]. After an hour & half, green light came on the charger. I plonked the battery back in (I put a nail in under the + clamp) and that is now yarking tight 👍 I have immediately notice that the Voltmeter doesn't go below 11.9/12.2 on tickover and sits at 13.6/14.0 on the main road = all the headlights on! I think I shall give the battery a reprieve.... We Will See 🚙💨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 What's all this about...... I thought it 'might be' part of ECU re-learning (after having the power cut/battery out) but it is just looping.... forever!

Under that and you're golden. tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
