Youngoutbacker Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 So tonight I was jumping my Battery to go finish painting my roof rack at my garage but it was dark so I accidently put the jumper cables on wrong :( :( it sparked but not too much to i tried to start it and i got in didnt start (obviosly) then the horn went off and didnt stop till i unhooked jumper cables i put the jumper cables on correct way and nothing works exept parking lights and hazard lights and horn so what have i done and how much does it cost to fix?

Jonny b Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hhhmmmnn could may well have fried the Ecu!! First off I would go ɑnd check your fuses one by one. Replace any dead ones if any! Then report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yeah I would go through all the fuses and replace any shot ones, with luck that's all it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 fingers crossed its just the fuses but worst case you could have damaged the ECU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlag Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 First thing to check is the main fusible link. It is in the relay/fuse box near the Battery. When you have the lid off, it should be the first item nearest the front of the car. It looks just like a piece of wire in a loop. (In fact, that's what it is). Don't, just look at it though, take it out. They have a habit of looking fine but have actually burned through near one of the spade connectors 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Unlucky mate :( I agree check the fuses 1st the fact you had some life still going to parts hopefully be a good sign, check the Battery too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngoutbacker Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Okay so i checked the fuse but it doesn't look burnt out but I'm going to replace it anyway if that doesn't work then what? Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny b Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Have you checked all the fuses?? I would maybe try a new Battery you may well have popped some cells! Ask if you can return it then you ain't lost nowt if ιt don't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
