Serious Electrical after Failed Jump Start


Recommended Posts

 

Like the title says, My 99 Impreza has been parked at work for 3+ weeks, working from home with work vehicle.

Had the opportunity to go pick it up, co-worker REVERSED the jumper cables, blew the 80A fuse.

Towed it home with AAA, charged the battery and jumped the fuse terminals, and the list is long.

Will get an actual fuse tomorrow, but I do not expect any changes to the list.

 

No Start, Cranks Over (no spark) Fuel (?)

No Hazards (no turn signals with hazard button pushed, otherwise work)

No Horn

No Head or Running Lights (can hear relay clicking when switching between the two)

No Power Windows

No Power Door Locks

No Radio

 

Fan, Interior Light, Reverse, Turn Signals (see above), Wipers and Squirter all work

 

All other in car and under dash fuses are good, do not know where to start?

Is there a fusible link somewhere?

Thoughts?

 

 

Bill

 

UPDATE, No response from my OBD2 code reader, computer might be fried but would that affect all the other systems?

Check all the main fuses under the bonnet in the engine bay. Replace as needed. 

Check main power wires to fuse box, could be worth checking wiring from fuse box too. It could be fried/burnt before main fuse popped. 

Check your battery condition. 

Alternator is probably fried, especially if an attempt was made to crank the engine. 

ECU could be dead, maybe... 

Start from the battery and work into the wiring from there. Also examine the main wire on the positive side of the battery. It could be toast too. 

All the best with it. I don’t envy your position :(
