2000 EXC. Computer (ECU) trouble?
Hello Everyone,
I have a 2000 exc. V10 with 68,800 miles. The last few months I have developed these very wierd problems.
1. There is a short some where & I now have to disconnect the battery everynight to save the battery.
2. Since then, everytime I put the car into gear,(any gear) the sound from the radio stops working. Put it back into park and it comes back.
3. I was reconnecting the neg. cable & it started while I was standing there. I had no keys in the ign. I put the key in the ign. to shut it off but nothing. I finally tried to put it into gear & applied the brake & it shut off. Tonight when I started the truck, i heard the starter turn over & metal on metal. the truck was already running. i shut it off and disconnected the battery before it did it again.
4. Sometimes after driving it. I park for a few minutes & it turns over but no start. I found that I have to push the fuel shutoff reset in the passenger kick panel & or disconnect the battery & reconnect it to start it.
Other than this life is good...
Thanx, Delimiter
