Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of an issue with my link connection and was wondering if anyone could offer insight.
I recently got my car out from storage. When I put it away ~beginning of December, I was able to connect normally and log/tune just fine. Now, my laptop will only connect under very specific circumstances:
1. I have been going >30km/h AND
2. I am decelerating to stop e.g. for a stop sign AND
3. The car is in neutral (not in gear slowing down)
(*all of the above at the same time*)
It will remain connected until I depress the throttle to accelerate (or will disconnect after 30 sec-1 min). The car otherwise runs and drives as if nothing is wrong.
It doesn't appear to be the cable at fault (?) because I can log and tune once it is connected (verified by adjusting idle etc while stationary to make sure data were transferring). I have tried on two laptops and the result is the same (one is even new!).
Electrically speaking the ONLY difference is that my dad took out the fuse in the driver's footwell fusebox (my car is right-hand drive so on the right side of the car ) because I'm having a battery drain issue on that circuit, which has not affected my link connection before. Could this be somehow related? I'm struggling with this one because the car did not actually move in the time that this 'problem' cropped up
Will be doing research of my own as well, but thought I would try to elicit opinions.
