Issues with stop start, amps and HIDs

JU57AJB · 10-11-2014, 04:43 AM

I'm having a couple of annoying issues with my car at the moment. I've got the Eonon head unit and the switch panel with just the start/stop button on it so when I installed the head unit I decided to just leave that button out as I always use start/stop.

On fitting my amps, most of the time they cut out when the engine cranks back up. I also have a slight ignition related whine which I'm working on fixing, that goes crazy when the engine cranks.

I fitted a power cap which I thought might help but it doesn't!

Also, my HID kit flickers under the same circumstances - I have the error correctors fitted and it doesn't flicker any other time.

Anyone know any solutions to these issues?

Battery?

Could be, I was hoping someone might have had similar issues and resolved them as the battery will be expensive :-(

I have read somewhere???, that the HID's are the source of these issues. Look along those lines and see what you find.

I suspected as much but wondered if anyone knew of a kit that did work with the start/stop if that was the case.

I'm not suspecting the battery to be honest as it's showing no other symptoms of battery failure, and voltages are good etc.
