Had a interesting weekend, woke on saturday and feeling like a e3o zone Legand, decided to fix my cars gear selector light (auto) and the switch by the brake (my light was staying on). Anyway fixed the brake switch, and got the light to work but then the car didnt want to start!!, so spent the rest of the day going through her, resetting the alram, checking the motoronic connectors (becasue i was mucking with that aswell), took the battery out to reset everyhting, checked AFM etc, made sure battery had a charge. gave up and sat in front of the TV feeling sorry for myself and contemplating walking to work on monday. woke up on sunday and went to look at her again, i must have stared at her for 30 mins before i decided to undo what i did on saturday, and still she didnt work. My girl came by and i told her what happened and she said: "you were messing with the wires , right , did u check the fuses?" BINGO one bloody little brown, fu*cking fuse, swapped it with another one and she started!!!!
Lesson learnt: keep spare fuses and check them when you mess with wireing!! :roll:

don't worry mate your not alone i had my stereo out the other week when i put it back it wouldn't work so took it out and rewired it twice then realised it was the fuse under the bonnet :mad: we're all allowed a blonde moment once in a while i think i have more than my fair share though
