#1: Turning on battery? Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu May 19, 2011 4:28 am ---- Hi folks,
I was messing around with the wiring in my headunit which somehow caused the battery to go off, when I turn with the key, the battery light does not illuminate. I don't think my battery is dead... what's the method of turning it on? It doesn't even illuminate with ignition. Last edited by karimali831 on Thu May 19, 2011 4:30 am; edited 1 time in total

#3: Re: Turning on battery? Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Thu May 19, 2011 4:30 am ---- Battery turned off?
You've probably blown a fuse or fried the BSI.
#4: Re: Turning on battery? Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu May 19, 2011 4:31 am ---- Lol, that's a joke. I took it to garage yesterday and they put in a new fuse...
#5: Re: Turning on battery? Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Thu May 19, 2011 4:35 am ---- I'm so confused.
#6: Re: Turning on battery? Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu May 19, 2011 4:41 am ---- I think I was being stupid to mess around with the wiring while the battery was on, I tried getting it right for a change but it got worce. Can someone tell me what and where the fuse is? My head unit has in fact blown multiple fuses, something is seriously not right here.
I will return to garage and tell them it's blown again... and now because the battery is not working, it revs more while turning on engine.
#7: Re: Turning on battery? Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Thu May 19, 2011 4:50 am ---- why is this getting so common!? you should never mess around with the wiring when the battery is still plugged in, the electrics are so sensitive,
"and now because the battery is not working, it revs more while turning on engine."
if the battery is not working you wont be able to turn on the engine lol, you have probably blown some fuses, check the fuze box by
1. unplugging the battery, corretly shutdown the BSI if the car needs it
2. pull each fuze out and check that its good and not blown and replace it if needs be
(dont pull fuzes when the cars live, it can cause a huge amount of damage)
if all of the fuzes are good, correctly boot up the bsi (if you car is multiplexed) and hope that everything is all good (if it still isnt working correctly you could have a bill for £1k plus for a new BSI,
if its just the headunit thats not working it might be faulty and blowing the fuzes
#8: Re: Turning on battery? Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Thu May 19, 2011 5:09 am ---- You can't turn a battery on or off check the fuse box under the drivers side one has probably blown, also check the one in the engine bay.

Basically because the 206 is now an extreemly affordable car, younger and less knowledgeable people (You know what I'm really saying) are starting to buy them, thinking there cool, and inevitably trashing them by driving at speed through a local halfords store, whilst trying to 'fix' their electrical problems with the battery terminals still connected..

#18: Re: Turning on battery? Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu May 19, 2011 8:21 am ---- Anyway... looking at the head of the fuses one blew up so I replaced it and it didn't solve the problem. Isn't there is a specific fuse I'm suppose to be looking at? If it could be many then I will need a fuse tester... this anygood?
I'm sounding stupid yes, but I'm new to this...... we all learn now don't we?

Common sense tells you that you cant turn a battery off.
You can look at the fuses to see if they have blown up.
What's actually not working?
Plexed or non-plexed?
#22: Re: Turning on battery? Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu May 19, 2011 1:06 pm ---- Battery now turns on, had to replace fuses... I guess this is linking to my other thread. This red power cable from the amp is what caused fuses to blow up, sorry to throw all these questions but I think this is leading to my last one...
how/where to connect the red power cable?
#23: Re: Turning on battery? Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Thu May 19, 2011 1:22 pm ---- I have a serious question. You were struggling to "turn the battery on"
Do you have a girlfriend or do you still think it's there for your own amusement.
Yes we all had to learn somehow, but the majority of people learnt about this kind of thing in physics lessons. Might just be me that thinks too many youngsters were bunking off lessons to go down the chippy to see what tramp stamps were on show.
The red power cable. What is it connected to in the first place. It has 2 ends.
#24: Re: Turning on battery? Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu May 19, 2011 1:30 pm ---- I'm sorry you are upset, there is no need for depression over a forum... haha. we don't all specialise in physics and electricals lol, I'm in fact a married adult... but if that is what you want to believe I'll take that delusion and simply LOL.
#25: Re: Turning on battery? Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Thu May 19, 2011 1:32 pm ---- What is your red wire connected to?
#26: Re: Turning on battery? Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu May 19, 2011 1:34 pm ---- It is connected to the amp.
Thanks sir!
#27: Re: Turning on battery? Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Thu May 19, 2011 1:43 pm ---- Not into the ICE stuff, but this might help 206info.co.uk/Forums/v...g+amp.html
#28: Re: Turning on battery? Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu May 19, 2011 2:01 pm ---- Ok, thanks for the heads up.
Does pre-plexed cars not have a BSI softboot procedure?

I think it doesn't but people have been known to leave it powered-off
overnight instead. Wether that does anything is debatable.

check the fuse box under the drivers side one has probably blown, also check the one in the engine bay.
