Hi,
I bought my first Altezza back in January, but as it is in a bit of a sorry shape it needs some work to get it looking presentable. So last saturday I finally found the time to get started on it properly. I spent all day working on the suspension of the car. Being absolutely knackered from spending 8 hours laying on the pavement, I reconnected my battery to be able to drive the car back into my unit. However, I made quite a stupid mistake while doing so and wrongly connected the terminals. Saw a few sparks coming from the terminals and realised I had messed up, so I quickly switched them over.
Now when I put the key in the ignition and turn the key, nothing seems to be happening until I try to actually start the car. It still runs, but nothing at all on the dash is working (gauges, heater, power windows, electric mirrors, radio, wipers, lights). Dome light, alarm and hazards still work though. A quick Google search told me that some dude with a IS300 made the same mistake, and had blown his 120A alternator fuse and few other ones as well. Turns out I blew the same 120A fuse, but couldn't find any other blown fuses (there might be though, I was quite stressed from the whole thing so I didn't take a proper look).
Does anyone know if the blown alternator fuse could cause the problems I have? And is there any other fuse boxes in the car apart from the one under the bonnet and behind the passenger side kick panel? Is it possible I have damaged any wiring looms or will it always blow the fuses first?
Thanks,
DJ
