Car no start
 
To add to my list of problems and my horrible day..

I was in the car cutting and fitting a grounding kit that i had purchased earlier in the day. When i was done... Car wouldnt start

When i switch the key to on.. Everything worked, radio, air-con, etc... The only thing is the blasted thing wont start.. I have the security(Key) light on.. THinking i might have shorted something....

There is no light on my interceptor.. I might have blown the fuse there by doing something accidentally... Will run out and get a fuse tomorrow.. Sorry, this is a little bit of a rant

Anyways, if the fuse is not the problem, what do u guys think is the problem or what other fuses should i be checking... I'm thinking potentially my immobilizer is armed?

If the Interceptor is not powering up it's safe to say either you have shorted or left somthing disconnected. Check the 15amp fuse in the power cable going to the Interceptor and check the engine fuse under the hood.

maybe thats whats wrong with mine, i installed the int-x and it wont start.. im gonna go check the fuses.

joshk118 08-30-2006 06:36 PM

how do you check the fuses that are just like black cubes? and which ones should i check to see if thats the problem? also, is it safe to try to jump start the car?

KJ238 08-31-2006 07:19 AM

Wouldnt jump start it first...

Few q's... do u have power in the car...

I do not know how to check the black ones other than using a voltmeter. Engine and Ign Key are teh fuses to be checked
