Disconnected police siren unit, now problems

Featured Replies

Hi all, after looking around for a recent inside water leak I found the old police siren still in the car with the wires going through the fire wall gromit with a big hole

 

only after disconnecting it, chopping wires that didn't look connected, put the battery back on and now the steering light, traction control light and tyre pressure/rotation light are all on

 

power steering is not affected

 

the module is called a whelan alpha 12x

 

does anyone know anything about this?

 

only thing I can do is try to reconnect it all another day

 

 

 

Some of those reset after you've driven the car, have you done this?

They should go off after a short drive in a straight line.

Just remembered 

 

after putting the battery on accidentally sparked the battery after catching the body and it banged 

 

perhaps I've blown the relay or fuse, but I wouldn't have any power steering if it has blown surely

Havent actually driven it yet will see what happens on the way to work

I think it all resets within less than a 100 metres, as Rustynuts said needs to be in straight line.

Happens every time you disconnect the battery, don't worry.
