hi all.new to this and first time posting but all help will be greatly appreciated.
my own stupidity is why im asking for help.i have a 2002 is 200 se.over the last month or so the battery has been dying on me,and today when i went to start it,nothing.not a thing so decided i`ve put this off long enough,time to get a battery.so to get to the suppliers i obviously had to jump it.this is where the problem begins!
I connected the leads as per usual and was surprised when they started sparking,so i double checked that i had connected them properly.i had.so i thought.problem is im colour blind and thought red was going to red but it was`nt.tri3d starting it.turned over,but nothing.tried again,the same.third time,nothing.absolutly nothing.knew something was wrong straight away.so anyway got to the bottom of it eventually,got a new battery,checked the fuse box next to the battery and 3 fuses were gone so changed them,and alas the car started.but this is the problem.now the lights dont work,well when i say dont work,the spots dont or the auto,indicators dont work but hazards do,wipers dont work,inside illumination of the dials dont work,heated seats,traction radio nothing.
Im at a total loss guys,have i done some serious damage?as i said any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks for listening to my long winded story.
Awaiting your reply.
