Check those high amperage ones too, near the middle of that video.
Yep. Check those fuses as advised by others.Exactly.
Assumption is the mother of....
So in effect, the fuses were deliberately blown by a direct short caused by built-in protection, rather than by simply just reversing the battery.
I wonder if anyone here can confirm that?
If fuse blown why would starter click?So in effect, the fuses were deliberately blown by a direct short caused by built-in protection, rather than by simply just reversing the battery.
I've tried to jump start it with both the new and old battery. No cranking happens, just the click when I turn the ignition on.Maybe new battery bad and doesn't have the power to start. Borrow a battery and try again, or get a jump from someone..
Or even an earth leadI remember years ago on some Ford cars (Mk3 Escort, Capri, Granada etc.) when changing the battery, people got a similar result as the OP. This was because when undoing the leads, a single wire on the positive terminal had fallen down unnoticed by the side of the battery. I don’t suppose the OP's car has a similar setup, does it?
I've only just seen your post.Think there are 2 locatiosn for fuse box, this vid shows main location under bonnet and one is in the , the vid is for left hand drive but location is similar. You should be able to pull the smaller ones out to see if any ar ebroken:
I blew a fuse in sept on mazda6 when changing a part, teh fuse was located under the dash of footwell front passenger location.
good luck
No, it wasn't, but the car started with jump leads.Was the old battery capable of starting the car before the battery change? Having 2 bad batteries doesn't make a good one.
I don't think so. It looks like this:I remember years ago on some Ford cars (Mk3 Escort, Capri, Granada etc.) when changing the battery, people got a similar result as the OP.
