Shorted battery - blown fuse?

[Mickek]

Hi!

Jump starting at night, how hard can it be? Who came up with the idea to have brown/orange cables connected to the "-" side on the battery any way?

Well it happened, I managed to short the battery for a couple of seconds!
Problem: The turn signals, rear wiper, interior light, head lights beam... doesn't work.

The fuses seems ok, are there any head fuses located somewhere else but under the steering wheel?

If you were jump starting, wasn't the battery flat to start with?

If so there wont be any voltage?

When using jump leads you need to put '+' to '+', but then on the car you are jumping the negative lead goes on the chassis or metal not the battery negative terminal.

Perhaps try charging the battery, or using above to charge it and try again, might just be a low or flat battery

Yes there will, just insufficient to turn the starter motor over. But enough to have a nasty accident... He'll have blown a main fuse...

Maybe it is better for you to check the manual to avoid misinterpretation about the situation that you are dealing with.
