so i moved my battery to the trunk last week, and after doing so, and hooking everything up my 4ws light came on, was working great for a while. all i did that would effect it was remove the fuse box and then reinstall. are there maybe different voltages that would make the 4ws computer not work? coinsidence?? if thats how you spell it. i have already resoldered the relays in the comp. tried reseting 4ws and it just comes back on after a lil driving, ill post up some pics asap, anybody have any input it would be greatly appreciated.

so my batter died last friday, and i jumped, ran good, went to go to work today, tuesday, dead again, i put a 150 amp fuse in the power line goin to a distribution block, to the starter and fusebox. you guys think the fuse is my problem? its like a car audio fuse, im thinkin i got a bad connection there thats causin some resistence, the starter is crankin a lot slower since i moved my battery to the trunk, ill check connections, anyone else experience this?

I say coincidence. I have never heard of this happening, ever.

 

Unless you've unwittingly diturbed the grounding or wiring for the 4ws ECU while working in the trunk ?

 

My 4WS genie tells me that a code 20 will be either the front main or front sub angle steering angle sensor. Coudl also be a connectiion of any related wires or control unit... let me know if you want a step by step on how to pinpoint the problem

 

yea i got an adobe 4ws manual.. the codes are kind of pointless when they stand for the whole system, i undid one wire on the side of the fusebox to be able to pull it up more, battery was disconnected the whole time, put it back.. ill have to recheckk everything i guess pisses me off

 

Check the 4ws fuse in the under hood fuse box.

Does the light come on when you start the car and then go off and come back on while driving? Or does it come on and stay on?

 

can you temporarily hook up the battery in its stock position.. to see if it goes away?

i definetly dont reccomend using a fuse for the power line from the batter to the power distribution in the bay.

take that fuse out, and run a straight line

 

aight so... i checked connections, and the fuse was a lil lose, i mounted it and all is good with the battery, the starter cranks fine, no problems, but the 4ws im not sure, the light comes on when i start the car, then goes off after i drive for a little while and i hear the 4ws computer click, i watch the wheels, the **** is working, and then something happens and bam no 4ws i thought it might be that lose connection, causing bad power to the fusebox.. causing the 4ws comp. to immobilize, but i dunno, ill try to reset one more time.
