P38A Oh dear i cocked up

i had the battery light and alternator fault come up on the dash, so i refitted my ole 13.8 voltage regulator, still no joy so up my original Valeo alt back on with the 14.7 regulator i had just taken off ,
Silly stupid me left battery connected, well the leads cant go far, till you put a socket to undo a bolt and guess what spark from main alt lead taped it up better late than never finnish up and no nothing when the key is turned
I have checked all the fuses in the board all ok, swapped the relays still no go, i am getting abs fault up on the dash, and i have checked that the codes for the becm and edc ecu match, were should i look now

Up for inspiration, down in deaspiration, but sorry mate it's to other members for information. Sorry Brian,I can't think.

Your supposed to blame a helper (wether they exist or not )

You have something on the dash .... is something

@Grrrrrr

I had a brain fart last night and remembered the fuse on the becm but alas still no joy, i will have to investigate more

Considering the zap involved I would have checked the maxi fuses
To be honest I would check everyone under the seat the lot

What is working and what isn't? I'd drive down but I plummeted off a ladder the day before yesterday and I cannot use my right arm or leg at the moment. I am hoping to be able to wear trousers and walk by the weekend though.

All fuses under bonnet and seat OK? Including the one in the engine ECU box? Have you shorted the starter solenoid?

Brian,
Maybe check the starter motor turns when you bypass relay 16 ?

I'm only down the road from you if you need multimeter, DC current clamp meter, etc ? My Nanocom is GEMS so won't read your DSE.

Your not supposed to fall of ladders, hope your ok
All fuse I have found check out, starter solenoid is next on list, it has to be something silly.

Thanks for the offer Pete
I have diag and multi meter ànd all the tools just short of what to look at, I will try relay 16 and see what I get

that relay is much easier to access than solenoid !!

Fried fuse box?

Back in dresses then @holidaychicken ,he's one of us. Seriously hope your on the mend.

Right i tried the solenoid and starter works but battery is now down to low as it was not charging and i had to drive it home so battery is on charge.
all fuses i have found check out visually and with a multimeter, numbers match in the becm and edc ecu, the only other fault is dash says abs fault.
