Hi guys,
I was driving up the bush near my place today on a reasonably well maintained fire trail.
Driving along a flat section of road the engine stopped, instrument cluster went out and the car won't start again.
The engine turns over but won't fire, no lights on the instrument cluster come on and the power windows dont operate.
On further investigation I found that the trailer socket has been torn off and the wires shorted together.
None of the blade fuses look broken, the larger fuses in the fuse boxes look ok and all earths appear to be intact.
I'm wondering if there is a fusible link somewhere that could have been broken when the trailer wiring was shorted??? Or if someone has another idea as to what has could be the problem.
I am heading back out to the car first thing tomorrow with a multimeter and would greatly appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
