#1: Ash: Oh dear... car won't start. Author: Ash, Location: Running from Ant and Lee and Adam...........Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2011 5:53 am ---- Hi guys, made a idiots mistake and shorted the contacts when changing a bulb. Now the car won't start and central locking won't work. Car does turn over though but won't catch. I'm assuming I'v blew a fuse but which one do I look at?
btw, this was changing the interior boot light.
All replies are welcome as I need this sorting ASAP
Edit: It's plexed... Central locking works but not with the remote Last edited by Ash on Tue Apr 19, 2011 5:56 am; edited 1 time in total

#6: Re: Ash: Oh dear... car won't start. Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Tue Apr 19, 2011 6:01 am ---- Try a BSI reboot, check the relevent fuses..
#7: Re: Ash: Oh dear... car won't start. Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2011 6:06 am ---- check all fuse,
reset bsi and hope for the best.
P.S. disconnect the battery before playing with fuse or changing bulbs etc.
#8: Re: Ash: Oh dear... car won't start. Author: Ash, Location: Running from Ant and Lee and Adam...........Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2011 6:10 am ---- I'v checked all the fuses... It's just the interior light one that's gone. The car should start without it right... so BSI Reset time I think...

Eco Mode is displaying though the batt does have charge... I believe am f****d unless I'v missed a fuse? I'v checked engine bay and under the steering wheel?

Doesn't sound good.
Edit:
Try leaving the battery disconnected for a few mins, then do another BSI reset.

Right... I'm going out with the multimeter again... I swear the sidelights didn't even come on when I flicked them!
