    I drive a diesel Sportage and this is what I noticed while driving to the office this morning was:

    Radio keeps turning off so i decided to turn it off. After a while, I turned the A/C on. Turns out the A/C also turns off for a split second along with the lights on the face (ie: buttons) of the A/C control system.

    This happened a lot of times during my 10km drive but don't know if this happens kung nalulubak lang. Do you think I have a short circuit somewhere? Natatako kasi kau baka bigla na lang magliyab saksakyan ko( wag na man sana)...

    Ano po masasabi nyo mga bro?

    may short circuit nga. have it checked asap. it looks like the fuses are not doing its job. but the relays are

    Start with the fuse box in the engine compartment check if its still in good condition then check the fuses under the dashboard. Baka may makita kang fuse/relax na nasunog kaya ayaw pumutok(syempre isa isa mong tangalin para makita kung ok pa ang mga contacts). Then if they are all in good condition start looking at the wires inside the dashboard you might be lucky that it may just be a loose connection. But then if your not familiar with what to look for. Its best to have a professional to check the wiring.

    You may also check baka battery terminal mo loose kaya kapos sa koryente ang radio at aircon.

    waaahh it's my fault pala, when i woke up this morning i checked the engine bay. was cleaning the chassis ground connection coming from the batt when i got distracted with something. after that i closed the hood and forgot all about the ground connection, which i HAVEN'T TIGHTENED yet.
    just came from the parking lot to check it. gago ko talaga

    OKs lang yan. at least yung ground lang ng battery mo yung loose. I almost lost my car before due to a loose battery "holder" (that thing that keeps the battery in place). The battery already caught fire. Buti na lang at naagapan agad. hehehe...

    Mabuti na lang, nothing serious happened to your car. Just be careful next time and always double or triple and even quadruple check.

    oo nga, buti nlng loose grounding lang pala. kung short-circuit pa, nakuwww...

    napag-usapan din lang tong grounding, upgrade ko na lang grounding ko from alternator to batt to chassis. papagawa ko na lang sa shop, wala kasi akung crimper for large wires (gauge 8). ;)

HELP: Electricals turn off intermittently
