hi there i put the wires round the wrong way and something went bang now got no ignition lights, it will turn over and got spark. can any one help me

 

checked your fuses?>

 

How the fuck could you do that, the leads dont reach that far

 

just what i thought.

 

also relais could be your problem now i think..

Maby he putted the battery in the wrong way

 

I done it in my old turbo once.

Dunno how, why etc but i managed it, luckily never popped anything.

 

Clever very clever

 

coil mate, it controls the spark and the dash lamps
you kill it and neither will work

easy to fix too

 

i have got a spark, cheaked fuses, ecu no obvious signs. any other ideas thanks

 

still no dash lights?

run a wire from the pos to the black wire terminal on the coil (thread it in the plug and put it back on) then try it

if car starts it'll need stalling to stop


also is it a good spark?

 

it has a good spark and there is fuel getting in.

 

did you try the wire from the battery to the coil?

 

mr friendly here!!!!!!!!!!!!ha-ha and you wonder why!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Bloody hell

 

It must of been very dark to do that

 

mate did you have your eyes closed or something?

 

I connected the main leads up correctly but it was the other wires from the loom. They are in a red plastic casing. i connected them up thinking they were the positive because they are red but they were actually negative wires. Any body know what the wires in the plastc casing are for? There a two of them.

 

check all your fuses first mate, its simple to do.

is the fuel pump working?

 

i have checked the fuses and i have swopped relays in fusebox for some that i know that work. the fuel pump works whan ignition is turned on. The dash lights dont come on with the ignition when the key is turned but if i press the hazard lights then the arrows flash on the dash, same with the head lights.

 

??

 

yes i tried it but the dash didnt work

 

Have you got an alarm/immobiliser? could be the immobiliser thats knackered if you've connected the alarm wiring incorrect at the battery. Just a thought but it may be that the ignition switch wiring is one of of the immobilised circuits.

 

Peel back the red sleeving. Some of the smaller terminals at the battery are actually fusible links that feed the fuse box and ignition switch. If they have burnt out you will have all sorts of odd problems. They may seem intact but may have burnt out inside the insulation. Worth checking.
