First off, I know this is the wrong place to post, but I just joined to ask this question, and it won't let me post in the general rx8 forum. So, here's my problem. I accidentally mixed up the cables while trying to jump start my 04 rx8. (Dumb, I know.) So I bought a new battery, which I needed anyway, and the car still wouldn't start with minimal electronics working. I narrowed this down to the main 120 amp fuse with some help from previous posts on this wonderful site. I replaced the fuse, and everything seemed to be working fine. Once I went to start the car, all the dash lights came on as normal, but then do not go off, and when I try and start the car nothing happens. No noises, no clicking. So is there maybe another fuse I could have fried, or do I need to start looking at other problems? Thanks in advance for all the help!

 

Check all fuses, you may get lucky. Otherwise it could get quite expensive.
No telling what damage could've been done to delicate electronic modules.


Here's hoping you get lucky.
