pauleff Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi everyone, am new on here, my name is Paul and drive a 2005 Ka which until up to now has been faultless. However due to my own stupidity, has a problem of my own making that I cannot seem to be able to fix. I shall explain...... I had reason to jump start my daughters car from the Ka, but because I was not concentrating I crossed the jump leads!!! Yes I know I'm a clown but we all make mistakes! Anyway my daughters car ultimately had no problems and is now working fine, however the Ka, now has no ignition and I've notice that the immobiliser led is no longer flashing. When I turn the key, there are no ignition warning lights save for the amber EM light. The lights still work, as do the wipers and also the indicators. There is no power to the radio. Therefore unsure if I've cooked the battery? I've obviously fried something, but am at a loss as to what it might be. Once you've stopped laughing at my incompetence i'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction? Many thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Check your fuses and go from there. I see nothing funny about it. These things happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 you may have fried the ecu module i would first get the altinator & battery checked by an auto electrician or call out the aa etc if your in a brakedown organization & they will be able to tell you if batt or altinator has gone sometimes it will ruin the ignition module sounds like it's gonna be an expensive job to me fingers x it wont be keep us posted m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauleff Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks for the info delboy, I'll give it a go. Yes, I think it could be expensive to fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 there is a small 3 amp fuse onto the fuse box to protect the pcmthe fuse sometimes pops and that can cause the battery light to come on. you have to drop the fuse box down, there are 2 or 3 fuses ontop check the small 3 amp on as there is a good chance it's blown worth a try m8 keep us posted on progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
