shoulda' left it alone

Post by garyodevon »

hi all. . . .
I know i should've left it to a qualified person, but i didnt . . . . .
been out there today trying to get my dash lights working.
before, my dash lights would only work if the ignition was off. . . .as soon as you turn ignition on, they would go out :(
today tho, ive been playin' and managed to get them to work wiv it on :) . . so wiv a grin on me face i reconnected the stereo, clock, ciggie lighter. turned on the ignition, heard a couple of pops (sounded like fuses blowin)
now the bliddey van wont turn over, turn the key and nuthin' :?
ANY IDEAS? pleeeeeaaaaaase
WELL PI#@ED OFF
None of the fuses have blown

WOT A KNOB :oops:
"flat battery"
charged the battery. . . .went out just now (BBRRRRR chilly) . .turned da key . . . .VRRRMMMMMM . . . .HAPPY CHAPPY AGAIN :D
thinking the battery could be on its way out? Never have ANY trouble starting it, but wipers are dead slow until ive done a good few miles. maybe the couple of hours out there today messing wiv the lights jus drained it?
