ray007 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hi all having some trouble with the n/a after giving it a jump start a few days ago.. What it is after my last car got stolen about 3 monts back, i now always disconnet loads of plugs etc on/around the engine for extgra security.. so the other day i mistakenly tried starting the car without pluging everything back in and once sorted realised the speedo, fuel,temp gauges are not working also the milometer/intrument warning lights and window motors are not working.. so i decided to check the fuses and 2 10amp fuses were blown, i think the one saying 'gauge' & the other 'ign' or something.. so replaced them and cant remember which one blew straight away, literally as soon as i put the fuse in there was a spark, tried another and same result. any advice would be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT Paul Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 put one plug in at a time to try and find the short etc see if it blows fuse also find which fuse it is to narrow down the fault area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 you must have put a plug in the wrong place, caught the wire and its earthing out, paul is right you need to unplug "everything" then plug one in at time until you can pin point the one that blows the fuses, then you have to find out why its blowing the fuse,then resolve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
