Hi guys,
So basically my car won't start, it will turn over but won't actually start....
I think that my electrics have shorted out as my pal though it would be a good idea to cut my boot interior light to piggy back other light to it! MUG!!!
I didn't see whether he touched the 2 together but I think he did as now my won't fire up...
The radio won't turn on and the lights won't turn on either...
Will a BSI reset work or do I need to check a certain fuse??
Is there anything that I can do??
I've checked a few fuses such as the radio fuse and what not but nothing??
Any help would be appreciated guys!!!
Thanks

Do as he said,because if the 2 wires (+) and (-) touched each other,and cause a short circuit,the first thing that blow up is the fuse,to protect the main items,so since your radio don't work,u need to check the fuse for the passenger compartment,not sure which fuse it's

Thank you for your help guys, it was indeed just a fuse that had blown, I was looking like a typical man and the only fuse I didn't check was the one that had blown lol?
Car is all okay now :)!

If a fuse blows it activates the immobiliser in some cases
