hey, after i hooked the fog lights to the battery my au1 starts shaking as i turn it on and revs at about 500rpm for a few secs then goes back to 1000rpm. it also starts shaking when im stationery at the lights or when im doing 20-30kms and then goes away for a few secs then comes back. when it starts it feels like its gonna stall but doesnt. my fuel tank has 60kms remaining but i dont think this would be the problem right?
i have hooked the lights like this; the 2 black wires for earth to the negative terminal and the red wire and blue wire to the positive terminal. so that means i can turn the lights on and off seperetly without using the high beam. o and when i first connected it up and turned the car on my hazard lights would flash automatically and i would not be able to turn it off for about 30 secs....??????? any help would be great guys. cheers neil |

I think you've got too much initial drain on your battery and alternator as soon as you switch them on. They should be running through a relay. "JC" recently did a thread on wiring up spot/fog lights with an easy to follow diagram...do a search, i'm sure you'll find it.
Here it is, it's on a thread that you started yourself. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...=wiring+lights |

Fog lights are for people who live in fog. Brisbane is lucky to have fog three days a year. Fog lights are annoying sh11t that i high beam people who have them damn stupid fog lights on.

Don't start this argument again, the thread is in relation to a technical issue, not the pros and cons of having foggies.

Did you reset the ecu after installing the lights?
My guess is that you disconnected the battery during the install? If so a ecu reset will fix the stutering car problem. As by LG on the old aufalcon.com __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________ To Reset AU ECU… Disconnect the battery for approx 40minutes to 1 hour. Once reconnected do the following: AUTO Transmission: - Reset Computer by disconnecting battery (Take off the positive terminal lead) - When power is re-connected, start car and idle in this sequence… - 2 minutes idling with the transmission in drive and A/C on. - 2 minutes idling with the transmission in drive and A/C off. - 2 minutes idling with the transmission in neutral and A/C on. - 2 minutes idling with the transmission in neutral and A/C off. - Drive the car on the road, for at least 5 minutes under variable throttle positions. MANUAL Transmission: - Same as above, except put the transmission in gear for (drive). Often, resetting the ECU can give the car a fresh start, improving performance, economy and smoothness. It is recommended that an ECU reset is done after any modification to allow the computer to relearn the car and the driver. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________ Cheers
