Blue90 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 After only a few minutes of driving this morning, the Electrical Problem light illuminated on my dash. I pulled over, turned the car off, let it sit for a few minutes, then started it again. A few minutes later, same thing.I went into diagnostics: It shows; no E codeb335hb410cb552hThe car is running fine. No discernable problems.I take it the top and bottom codes are history, and the middle code is current.What does it mean?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mc_Reatta Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Bad connections most likely a ground terminal under the hood.

Blue90 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks, I'll get to check all the connections this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue90 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 This weekend I pulled the battery and coolant overflow container to get to all the connections. All were tight with no corrosion. I took them all apart anyway, scrubbed with a wire brush, cleaned with electrical cleaner spray and retightened. Went for a test drive and within seconds the Electrical Problem light illuminated. Still the same code; b410c (or h). Now what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanR Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 B410 is "charging system problem". Take your car to Autozone or Oreillys and have them do a stress test on the alternator. Its free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue90 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Problem appears to be fixed: After checking all my connections again I took the car on another test drive. The Electrical Problem light illuminated again but I decided to keep driving. Within a few minutes the light went off. It has stayed off after several off and restarts. I was getting ready to pull the seats. Glad I don't have to do that, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanR Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 i would still take it to AZ or Oreillys just to see if the alternator is right on the border of charging properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue90 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks Sean, I will get the alternator checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue90 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Sean you were right. I took my car to my local mechanic, I've been going there for years so I don't get charged just for checking something out, and the manager drives a nice '85 T-type, and he confirmed my alternator was bad.
