I have a bad battery in my Tercel 99, so I jumped the battery with another car. But I did a mistake by letting the positive negative of the jumping cable touch each others. So I guess that my fuses are dead, the car won't start again, even with the jumped battery (I get no power at all).Which fuses should I check to replace them?
you got more problems then a fusegood luckur gona need it.
You will soon learn the cost of replacing your computer. (and perhaps the alternator also. check it first)
my be main curkit breaker or starter fuse
toyotas have a master fuse(100 amp) it is in you under hood fuse box.make sure you didn`t melt any bat cables.also you may have fried your pcm good luck
I assume u are saying they touched after connecting them to the Toy before connecting to other vehicle. Just for tomorrow - clip the loose - free clip which will go to the starting vehicle around the wires. Then after u have connected to the dead battery and after u connect the + clip to the starting battery, remove the - clip and attach that. when jumping batteries, one places the cables on the battery terminals. The only way to get a fuse to blow is to place the cable someplace else so the current will flow thru the fuse. If u did that, then I would start with the fusable link usually the first thing u come to off the + terminal of the battery going to the other fuses. It is possibly integrated into the + terminal. The starter cable does not have a fuse on it. It goes directly from the battery + to the starter. Now, is it possible to damage other components like a PCM. Not hardly. Since there is now way to draw current thru it by shorting leads out. Is it possible to damage an alternator? Maybe depending on where u clipped the cable. If u connected to the alternator, u may have a problem here. Lesson, NEVER connect + lead to anything but the battery terminal. NOW, when u try 2 jump it do u get any spark when attaching the - lead (after the + always). If not, maybe the cables are open. I assume the other vehicle still works.
