Sudden loss of electrical power
SR3 XX 2020 (PDM32 and the locked wheel)
Running for just the third time recently and on about the 4th session of the day I had sudden loss of all power exiting a corner.
Engine died, dash did something weird, regained power and engine briefly, then died again.
Pulled over and briefly saw a fuel pressure warning (just once).
I sat there trying to restart the car and/or get it into Neutral and occasionally I'd get power back (12.5 is volts), then it would suddenly show 0.0v and/or dash would go dark. Alternated like this several times as I tried to get it started. Dash was confused about which gear it was in. Sometimes 6th, sometimes 3rd.
At no point could I hear the compressor running and I could not get the shifters to do anything.
Eventually got towed back, and then bizarrely could not recreate the issue. It ran the rest of the day without incident.
My only guess is that I'd recently un-screwed/re-screwed that PDM cover panel inside the cockpit to stop it rattling and maybe connectors were dislodged. Took a look using the access portal in the side-pod and it looked fine. Maybe one connector was very slightly askew but I couldnt get it to move or sit any more flush.
I'm a bit of a newbie with the life racing software so haven't sat down to try and look for clues properly, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever experienced something like this.
