Wayner6 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi Guys, let me explain the whole situation, the 120amp positive terminal fuse blew last night in my 2003 gt whilst leaving the pub so no power atall! i bypassed the fuse with two ends of a jump lead i had in the boot to get home. ive now replaced this fuse temporarily with a £5 120amp fuse and a bit of copper. Everything is working now apart from the central locking! the only thing that was working when the fuse blew was the unlock button on the key fob (not the lock) so i locked the car manually with the catches and then the unlock button wasnt working so i manually opened it with the key. Is there some kind of central locking security feature or something which disables it when manually using the key? thanks, Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 fuses usually blow for a reason bud. Possibility of you damaging something by shorting the circuit out. Unsure what but chances are there is a wiring fault or a pcb which is shorting to ground. You may have done more damage than good by shorting it out tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
