check your fuses... new battery maybe

+1 on fuses.
Start with the basics. Get the Acc position working again first (display, basic accessory power) before you try to start it. That way you know that the electronics are powered up. If you're luck the fuses will have protected eveything.

Check, mate.....
 
Check every fuse in the box, if the ECU has no power you ain't moving.

Don't forget the fusebox in the drivers side footwell.

You need to check all the fuse and i think your going to need a new battery for sure.

Your lucky the battery didn't blow up in your face. Still amazes me how someone can do this.
Check all the fuses as was already said . Hopefuly you haven't burned up any of the wire harness. Take a good look at it around the fuse panel.

the battery is only 3 months old. i have a optima. all the fuses isnt popped. just found out my power windows and locks doesnt work. i justed happened to open my ecm to see if it was fried but its still looks good. so im still buged out. im still tryin to find out wats wrong

Call the dealer or autoparts store.

SpyderX,Inc. 02-04-2007 04:35 PM

nevermind guys. i finally fixed it. i took apart the fuse box and found 1 more fuse on the side and it was 120 amps. that thing was popped and smelled really awful. i guess it just way overloaded. so if any of u have similar problems i hope this will help.

DarkBrew 02-04-2007 04:41 PM

So everything works or you just found the blown fuse?

If that statement is any indication of his mental status ( :iwstupid: ), I think we all know why things happened the way they did. :slap:

d j 02-04-2007 06:11 PM

...Im glad it is, now what's your "take-away" from this incident? what are the steps that you should've taken to avoid the situation? And what actions are you gonna take, in order to prevent this from happening again? LOL!

that's the main power fuse and that's why it's there, count your lucky stars :spank:
