Jump killed electrics

[alexwasserman]

Hey all,

Had to jump the car this morning, ironically, to take it to the dealership to fix the parasitic drain.

When jumping half turned on, then seems to have blown a fuse as now there's no electrics at all when turning on the key.

What's the best place to start checking fuses? Started with the fuses under the hood, and didn't find any blown yet.

Makes it even harder to get fixed now I can't even turn it on.

Thanks,

Alex

If you aren't getting power to anything check the battery voltage then the mega fuse first.

Battery should be fine, and I was jumping it, so ought to have had enough power to turn on the electrics

stupid question - which is the mega fuse?

Under the hood, or passenger compartment?

If the battery is "fine" why were you jumping it?

Mega fuse is usually in the engine bay.

If you have a volt meter or dmm you can find the draw yourself.

What year is your Expy?

One of the cables from the battery goes thru the firewall and connects to the Smart Junction Box (Fuse Box) in that line is a fusible link (Mega Fuse) an easy way to check to see if that fuse is blown would be to go to the smart junction box and see if you have voltage to the box
