i think i fried my car... im such a dumb ass help pls

[QUOC2008]

I think i fried my car...by jump starting the car the - & + wrong way around in the dark and turn the key. Now the dash and car doesnt start... :$

[Rev5GT]

I think there's a fuse / relay that will have popped..

[Peter Gidden]

Could be the fuseable link in the main =VE battery lead.

Battery is always -VE to passenger side, whether light or dark. Doesn't change when the lights go out.

[QUOC2008]

Hopefully it hasnt damaged anything thanks... i will try changes thhe fuses relays etc

[Peter Gidden]

No point in checking any relays. They have nothing whatsoever to do with circuit protection.

Start with checking for 12V+VE at ALT fuse or AM2 fuse. If no volts you've blown the fuseable link.

If you have continuity then check other fuses.

It seems to be alot worse my car isnt a normal dash it has the dash2pro and a custom ecu with custom wiring... all gonna come out now

[thomp1983]

Have you done the checks Peter said? A custom dash and standalone ecu shouldn't remove the fuseable link which is installed near the battery terminals

[QUOC2008]

Yes im afraid its alot worse im.gonna have replace everything to garrantee no fire issue loom... etc i was lucky the battery didnt blow up

[QUOC2008]

I'm not clear whether you've checked the fusable link yet. Have you stripped the cable tape back before the +ve terminal on the main loom yet and inspected the link there?

^This. Wasn't sure whether the fuse-able link had been checked either.

Im not sure but some of the things have melted... rip open the ecu, wires, dash... i dont know...

[SySanguinary]

Sorry, I give up. You're not really making much sense!

What are you talking about?

Have you read the reply i bothered typing to try and assist you?

If you have, did you bother following my instructions?

FYI, here it is again:

Start with checking for 12V+VE at ALT fuse or AM2 fuse. If no volts you've blown the fuseable link.

If you want members to offer you help then stop posting random gibberish and use the assistance offered.

[QUOC2008]

Yes we have check the fuses

[Peter Gidden]

Yes we have check the fuses

Go on then.........


And???
