hi everyone, I really hope someone can help me. I have "stability control fail" come up on my computer, no start not even trying to turn over. I was running an amp to my boot (sliced into the rear door speaker in the left hand heelboard) and as i went to try it the stability control failure come up and no start so I discounted the amp etc and connected everything back as it was and still got the warning and no start. please could someone help me and point me in the right direction. many thanks

Blown fuse? Flattened battery?

 

hi jagv8
I think I have checked all fuses, so many of them, the battery was fine about an hour before and is reading around the 12v mark. also I have noticed that the head unit and heater controls are not working and when I try to start and take the out the wiper clicks and starts to move in a little and then stops then starts again. I recently read that there is 2 big fuse's in a black box near the spare wheel, could it be one of those that have gone? thank you for your reply.

 

UPDATE, ok I have just been out to recheck battery volts it was 11.86v so hopefully that is my problem, battery now on slow charge and will update tmr. I have everything crossed.

 

UPDATE. ok it was the battery, put it back on this morning and fired up straight away, so glad, I thought I had fried something. never mind we live and learn. cheers for help.
