Hi
Recently noticed my battery terminals looked terrible, so wanted to change them, I also installed a brand new bosch battery at the time, trouble is I now have no electric within the van.
The dash lights will flicker on really quickly but go straight off, I am able to crank the van though, with no start.
I have made sure the terminals are on correctly and everything seems ok.
Do you think it's a blown fus somewhere?
I recently changed the ignition barrel as I had a stuck steering lock aswell and obviously got a new key, I just kept the old one with the chip on and the van has been starting up until I changed the battery and terminals? What can I check for?
Thankyou
When i turn the key to accessories position the battery light comes on and the oil light on dash, but no others as it normally would. It's not the key as immobiliser goes out where I have the old key chip next to new key and was starting until the terminals got changed.
