I have a 12v and 24v battery charger and booster, I inadvertently had it on the wrong setting whilst charging my Defender 110. Heard a pop, saw a wisp of smoke appear from behind the radio, now she won't start.
Stripped the dash, no burnt wires, checked all the fuses and solenoids.
Any suggestions?

Hi there and welcome!!
Oh dear, you let the magic smoke out

Hopefully it's just the radio that went pop (permanent live) and nothing that's unfixable
