    I would check the voltage on the battery terminals when the car is running. It should be around 14.5v

    If it is around 14.5v, turn the car off, disconnect the battery for 5 minutes and then reconnect. See what happens this time when you reconnect everything.
    If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason
