Welcome to MA! The you may have a bad wheel speed sensor or it is not plugged in all the way causing the the traction control light to be intermittent.
Hey guys, update time.
I checked the wheel speed sensors and everything was plugged in properly. I haven't tried another battery since the original dropped to below a working voltage.
As luck would have it though, I took the car out for a spin last night and both the MIL and TCS light went out! Maybe it just needed some time with the new setup to stabilize.
As far as the Optima battery, the only problem I encountered was the fit was a bit tight. The cables were a bit short but once I got rid of the plastic cover for the jump terminal, all was good.
I'll let you guys know if anything changes, taking her out for a longer drive today.
I hope nothing else pops up, I'm soooo close to finishing my 53! :fingerscrossed:
The driver side window in our Cooper wouldn't open for a couple of days after i replaced the alternator last summer.Then it started working out of the sudden. It's been working fine since.
Thanks for the suggestion! Now that you mention it, I don't remember if I included that in my final assembly check-list. We have rain for the next few days, but I'll give that a look once the weather clears up. :fingerscrossed:
I did use NGK plugs, but unfortunately the original wires fell apart as I was removing them. I'll try swapping for the ones that I'd been using reliably on my R53. Thanks for all the suggestions guys!
