#1: Car not starting and other problems Author: mastavaj, Location: LondonPosted: Sat Mar 31, 2012 7:35 am ---- Hi guys I think Ive done something really stupid. I installed a headunit and took it out again to change the wires over. I thought this would be an easy job so i left the headunit plugged in. somehow i think ive managed to short circiut the system. now when i start the car it doesnt!! sidelights come on and the windscreen wiper starts. only my right side hazards come on. car does not start. also my central locking from key fob does not operate. i am a complete novice and an idiot. any suggestions or ideas . im at work at the moment so will have to look at it a bit later. i am desperate here i need the car by tonight. any help would be greatly appreciated.

yup fusebox, dont know why it wouldn't start though maybe battery is to dead to start it?

(thats what it said in the handbook). got me car home all safe and everything working ok. I will replace with a new fuse.
