It runs! but im confused!

[AshG]

disconnect the battery warning light and see if it still runs on. chances are you need a diode in there. the mjolt and edis require far less power to keep the car running so alt feedback through the battery warning light becomes a problem. i had it on my car but it would only run on for 10 seconds max. there is a write up on how to cure it on the megasquirt website if i remember correctly.

remember its not an ecu its a learning tool as i have found out lol

Scrounged a diode whilst at work today and have just soldered it in to the battery warning light circuit

Now it stops as it should, as soon as you turn off with the key

Problem solved

Thanks Ash

[AshG]

dont ask how long it took me to work that one out on my car

I can imagine lots of head scratching on that one, just glad you encountered the problem first

I know i said i would probably figure it out for myself but im glad i asked here first because i think it would have taken me days to suss that one out!

Top bit of knowledge there Ash
