warby 0 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I have asked some people this before but not on here to no avail.Some times when my lights are on and i put on main beam it makes my wipers jump up and down a wee bit, and they never seem to park properly yet when i turn them on they go down to park before working as normal. I think its the alternator but have tested it until blue in the face, could be the battery too? Im more of a mechanical bloke so im a touch stumped here.How much of a job is the cam chain guides as i have a bit of a rattle, nothing mega serious though. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Sounds more like you have an intermittent earth or a poor earth within the fuse box. I'm no expert but if you start to remove fuses to pieces of equipment and try to replicate the fault. You can track down faulty area's of circuits quicker. I'm sure someone else will be along soon with other possible idea's. Tonyvrsc would be a good person to speak to ref guides and chains. Link to post Share on other sites
