FTO AUSTRALIA

Yeh so when i indicate right a majority of the time it will trip out the car, that being the dash turns off and you can hear the engine die all for like a second. Would it have something to do with aftermarket alarm/immobiliser on the vehicle? That seems to not work properly of late, doesnt want to unlock the car etc youd think the battery was flat but car starts perfect everytime.

Alternator. FTOs are apparently notorious for sh*tty alternators.

f**king hell they aren't sh*tty alternators, they are OLD alternators. Of course they will play up after 15 years of abuse if never been changed

*apparently* ^

but yeah im guessing its the alternator.

And your reasoning behind this is? Lol
Check fuses mate

Is certainly an electrical issue of some kind.

I doubt it's the Alternator since his battery would be atleast half charged, that doesn't make sense.

It does sound electrical though. id just check everything, trace the wire for the imobiliser to make sure theres no loose connections, check both sets of fusers.

If it only happens when your idling it could also be the stepper on its way out

How old is the battery? more then four years old?

How can it be a sh*t alternator if it does not do it with the left indicators??? If it's the alternator then every other electrical device must trip the car if it's weak.

The reason your dash is blinking and rpms dropping is due it an excessive resistance on your right indicator circuit. I would first check the condition of your bulbs, connectors and wiring on the side that it causing the issues.

Not your alarm as your alarm just taps into your indicator wires.

There you go, then ^

Got it all fixed. was the immobilizer. aftermarket sh*t! all cut out now...just have to use the key to unlock again lol
