Steve GT Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Right guys really need some helpbasically i was putting the downpipe etc back together on my car cause the adaptor i got for my oil pressure gauge didnt fit so started putting it back together. I took the battery etc off so i could move the rad fan to the side so i could get to the oil pressure sensor. so i went to put the leads back on the battery and im not sure if i crossed them or toughed them together etc cause it sparked like fuck and now my car wont starti have a few electrics like lights hazzards etc but no central locking, cd player and the car wont even try and turn over. it just makes a whizzing noise that sounds a bit like a electric window motor. i tried changing the ecu back to the standard one just incase id fried my plug in and play but that didnt help and I've checked the fuses near the battery and the ones under the steering wheel and they all look oki have a toad alarm on it and that doesnt seem to want to work eitherplease has anyone got any idea what could be the problem as i said im not sure if i got the positive and negative the wrong way round on the battery as i wasnt concentrating which was really stupid of meplease lads i need help lol anyone got any ideas?

Jae-Glanza Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Have you checked the pos n neg are on the right way now? You'll have a lucky escape to have gotten away without frying your plug n play buddy, Other than that, i'd put it down to a blown fuse, maybe a few! although it seems you have checked everything i would have to be honest.

BAZ2CRAZY Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Battery could be flat.Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Battery could be flat.Mitchisnt there something along the lines of de charging?? like if you put them on the wrong terminals, mess it up etc it can alter the possitive/negative flow... so you might have killed the possitive terminal so it's almost like having negative and negative.... could be well off with this and not sure were i herd it from lmao!!but also yeah double check the fuses, they may look ok but could still have one thats gone.

Steve GT Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 @ mitch nah batterys fine even had a jump pack on it to make sure@ cl nah the battery seems fine when i turn the key you can hear the fuel pump priming so it wants to start but somethings stopping it somewhere. starter motors not turning or anything lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Check the main fuses Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 i have done is there any more that may be the problem. I've checked the main fuses near the battery and the ones in drivers footwellim thinking this may be alarm related cause it has an immobiliser in it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4efte_ryan Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 if you have checked all of the fuses and the main fuses you could of blown your ecu mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GTnomez Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 That whizzing sounds is your fuel pump.If you reversed polarity than you have blown a fuse. What you want to check is the slow blow fuses in the engine bay, they are the big red and black ones. You should be able to see from the clear case on top of the fuse if they are gone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 if you have checked all of the fuses and the main fuses you could of blown your ecu mate nope put the standard ecu back in makes no difference still does the same thing lolThat whizzing sounds is your fuel pump.If you reversed polarity than you have blown a fuse. What you want to check is the slow blow fuses in the engine bay, they are the big red and black ones. You should be able to see from the clear case on top of the fuse if they are gonechecked them all mate still no luck lolany other suggestions its strange cause i seem to have checked everything that could have gone and still no luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 My expirence in fitting alarms, they have 2/3 inline fuses trace back from the siren in the engine bay (the main box will prob be driver passenger footwell plastics) and make sure there not blown because if they are and the installer has imobilised some if the ignition wires could stop radio and windows from working sounds to me like alarm related. if its fucked the alarm all you need to do is find the ign sence wire from the alarm ( that meen the wire goes live when the ign is on and stays on while cranking) and cut it and the car will start.

Steve GT Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 yeh im guessing its the alarm/immobiliser cause all the fuses seem to be ok, the fuel pump is turning over but the starter motor wont kick in so im thinking its been immobilised lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
