akumazedex Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 So here's where I'm at, I have an 82 s130. Every time I turn the lights on the voltage drops super low, to battery voltage, and stays there at idle. Car starts to run rough. I have a new alternator in there with clean battery connections. When I turn the lights off it smoothes out. I'm running hid's so I don't see why they would pull that much current. This is a recent problem. I'm super stumped right now, any help would be great.

Domzs Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Did this problem start after you installed the HID lights ? Trying to pin point your problem , I would rec installing the OE lights to see if that fix it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akumazedex Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Lol! That was just the case! Only I had no problems for the past year with them. Back to halogens and were good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluDestiny Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 did you ever fix this? or are you still DD the 260? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnum44 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I would like to share my experience with something similar I went thru recently on my 83.....I even changed alternator and still no charging and I have hid but with a full harness with relay and feeding straight from the battery....the no charging problem was found by a buddy of mine when no one else could figure it out.. on the same side where the battery is on the zx (passenger side) theres a black relay box right in front of the strut tower and theres a relay that protects the charging system...change it and it should take care of youre problem...

FricFrac Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The ignition relay is under the dash glove box. Are you talking about the fuseable links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
