Technical '06 Panda crank sensor issue.....

[koalar]

Where does the middle one connect to on the body work under the battery try maybe

What's under the bodge on the right one, wrapped in electrical tape

 

[RDM1]

The middle one is pointed out in the 2nd picture under the battery

We are not helping ourselves here

To carry a few amps its not too critical

But to carry over a hundred Amps every has to be clean and in good order

I can see the battery terminal has a dark layer of non conductive oxides

The earth posts themselves don't look like they have be cleaned


Looks like there's been a problem here in the past, two posts appear to have a second nut on the top


Get a

Or similarly and clean everything up first

It goes in a half turn next to the chassis down under the battery behind the headlight and it's shown where it's fixed in the 2nd picture

P200 sounds good? Or something softer like 300 or more?

This all I can see

Which doesn't look good

 

[RDM1]

Yep this is the one fixed by 13mm bolt will start there than go up to the battery

 

[RDM1]

But you didn't tell me how soft you want the sandpaper to be

 

[koalar]

Anything

You just need clean metal to metal

I normally use a kitchen scouring pad or fine emery

200/300/600 makes no difference

 

[RDM1]

Turns out this was the one fixed with the braided ground wire to the gearbox and was cleaned but went ahead and cleaned it thoroughly again so on the second picture that wasn't clearly visible you can say that it's now checked

 

[koalar]

Looks good

 

[koalar]

What's hiding under the tape

 

[RDM1]

Cleaning those aswell although all contact points are clean

 

[RDM1]

Gonna check it after I'm done cleaning and will be back at you

What's hiding under the tape

 

[koalar]

In here will need doing as well

 

[RDM1]

And that's after cleaning thoroughly do you think i should apply terminal protection grease before assembling?

 

[koalar]

Cool, looks good

Why was there two nuts on two of the posts, has one stripped

 

[RDM1]

No i added them extra for the external ground to the engine they're useless but you didn't tell me want me to put terminal protection grease before assembling?

No need for testing

 

[RDM1]

??? I didn't catch your point
