Hello guys,

Have tried to jump the DTC to clear my ABS and EPS light today, but stupidly plugged the paperclip into the wrong wire and now cant start the car up.
My suspect is a blew fuse but i have no idea which fuse it is and dont know if I blew some other things.....

Please give me some help guys!
Many thanks!!

Update:

Guy I hope for your sake you only blew a fuse, never under any circumstances jump anything. If you have a warning light take the car to a reputable mechanic and have it checked. Check all of the fuses there is a detailed list in your owners manual. Good luck

Hello thanks for reply
I hope i have only blew a fuse, the worse thing I can think of may be the ECU, as long as i didnt blow the engine.....
I have diagnosed by myself, but just cant do it.....

Check the ECM fuse under the dash. You probably shorted it to 12v instead of ground.

im not sure what the pins call, but i only knew the colour of the wire, my S is a RHD, so the wiring in the connector may be different, i will try to post a pic and show you which two i have shorted.......as i remember the first one have a Brown wire connected in it....

does the CEL come on with the key on? The CEL is not only good for codes, it checks the state of the ECU power.
