hi guys,
my poton gen2 have this problem.
1) yesterday : cruise control not working.
2) today : after i reverse my car, it honked itself. then after that i drive for 5 meters. the car just stalled itself and the engine no longer able to start. everytime when i tried to crank start my car, it just stalled off or couldn't be started. after few attempt the check engine panel no longer working anymore, the CEL just doesn't turn and all those indicators just gone off and i couldn't start my car. i have to take off the fuse of honk becasue it will autohonk . btw , the PRND2L panel gear mode is only blinking.


proton gen2 .
2006 highline
1.6L auto.

if the battery dies, why does the honk auto honk ? the battery is still new, it is about 9 month old only .

i got check, it is full . i think the possibility of the alternator to be spoilt is there, as probably it drains the power. i tried start my car by connecting cable to another car, the jump start cable just burnt off. but why does it honk ?
it is not only cannot crank, sometimes start 3 seconds and off. .

Added on October 12, 2009, 9:33 pmi am guessing it is the ECU acting up. but the worst problem is why does it crank up so much current until the jump start cable melted n overheated. i tried to jump start another car it works last few days, today it isn't working and summore it burnt .
sigh .

- ECU : yes
- alternator : yes .

i've contacted shazmn , he told me his pomen commented on either battery or alternator.

i think the chances of alternator is very high. battery wise , sometimes i still can start and after 1 second, it terus goes off . just like that.

now the odometer etc everthing LED doesn't lite up.i dnt know why, no battery or altenator.


tomorrow i am going to call my friend's pomen to bring a battery here to try to start it. if not then tow truck to the shop .

still stall . it just wont work.

nope .
but the symptom is very like alternator dies off. where the warning icons comes out and then it doesn't lite up.

haven't yet. it is at Jusco now , i'm in the meeting now actually. later will call up the insurance for the tow truck.

sorry for late reply.
the problem is fixed . it is due to the faulty clockspring.

the symptoms are steering wheel button malfunction, then cruise control rosak then auto honk . because all those wires are connected to the same place.

yeap. i should be thankful that the airbag didnt deploy due to the faulty signal.
gen2 members should be careful on this, this isnt the first clockspring case, the other member here got the same problem and the airbag deployed.
