foggy147 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) Hi guys not sure if this is the right section to post in but if not please move appropriately. Basically woke up to a flat battery this morning because i'd left my lights on all night!(idiot), anyway boosted it etc and got the car running, checked all electrics etc, but now the stereo or ariel wont come on, any ideas as to what it could be as my ariel only ever comes up when I plug the fascia of my stereo in but theres no power going to it. I would hazzard a guess as the fuse might have just gone?any ideas?Any ideas how to check the fuse and which fuse would I need to buy to replace? Thanks Edited March 16, 2010 by foggy147 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Could be a fuse which i think is located in the drivers foot well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil-NA Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 They should be all together, just grip them tightly and pull one out at a time and replace before moving onto the next, if you need help mate gimme a shout as im off work till monday.

Don't think I could handle that to long I'd crack lol. Took it for a 30min drive to re-charge the battery and it felt like a very lonley place without the radio lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggy147 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Grrrr, since taking the car for a 30 mile drive yesterday the car has been stood over night just gone to start it and its flat again!!Not checked the fuse for the stereo yet as seems the battery isnt holding its charge. The battery was perfectly fine before I let it lose its charged once the car had always started first time evertime so I dont think its a battery problem. Is their a fuse that controls charge getting to the battery? As when it did start yesterday it idled lower than normal when stood still so seems the charge wasnt great?Any advice or help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
