Hi Everyone,
Strange issue here. My NL runs great, no dramas at all, only 180k kms on the clock. All good...
Until tonight. Was driving about, engine hot and stopped to pick my son up from a party. Parked for about ten minutes. Got back in the car, nothing! Lost all electrical power. No lights, no dash lights, no turn over... Nothing. Tried a few times and the lights would flick on then die. Rested another few minutes, tried another couple of times, then out of the blue, all lights turned on, turned over and started instantly. Drive home perfectly fine.
I'm wondering if it's a faulty relay somewhere, but have no clue as to where to start looking or how to test. Battery is a couple of years old but seems to be holding strong charge and the alternator is only about eight months old. I don't think it's a charging issue as when the lights came back on there was plenty of power and the motor turned over fine and started instantly.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Luke. 👍
