120881, car is acting weird, need some help
Posted by RaNdOm-H3rO, Oct-17-06 08:53 AM
about a week ago a bolt of lightning struck my back yard and ever since then when i turn my high beams on my cd player cuts off. This happens about 2-3 times out of 5. im not sure what i need to check so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys
Edit: Battery light occasionally turns on and off while on highway

Damn. Could be that there is some kind of short in your system now. Perhaps some EMP-style action... like in the movies. Never heard of any lightning strike-related problems. Weird.

you think this could be alternator related?

Bad ground somewhere.

my guess is that its some loose wire. the ecu would have gotten fried by an emp before anything else, esp a relay.
cars can get hit without much problems.
