crazy_eyes Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 my car has been stood for a while and i have to jump it off everytime i work on it, yesterday i jumped car off with mains powered jumppack and i took a wile tostart usually fires up first time, i move car and replaced a door, then i went to move my car back, i connected the jumppack and went to start the car and smoke was filling the drivers side of the car looked like it was coming from the footwell, i immediatley disconeted the jump pack and pondered for a while then gave it another go, upon connecting again the crocadile clips felt like they were sticking to the battery, then BOOM the battery exploded any ideas please Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 check under the drivers seat mate this happened to mine theres a box under mine that decided to blow and fried my whole car. disconnect it replace all blown fuses etc and put a new battery on it then don't connect that box again because it will happen again Quote
crazy_eyes Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 THe reciver for central looking? as central locking was playing up when i replaced the door? thanks for the reply Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 must be that mate I have an alarm system that does the central locking itself so that's probably why mine decided to go. It will be that then un plug it and have a look at the wires mine looked really shiny and every time I hooked up the battery they would smoke get someone to put on the battery and have a look under the seat while you do but be careful you don't set your car on fire Quote
crazy_eyes Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 just had alook mate and box looks fine just had multi meter on it and something is causing a massive drain on the battery, off to take alternator off to check Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Yea my box looks fine to but the wires smoke like hell when its plugged in and the battery is on Quote

Dean_mc88 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 killer mate don't know what else to suggest sorry mate have to go searching. let us know how you get on Quote
