GUIII Ringwood
Hi all
Was trying to parallel a set of rear lights to the dual battery and to the reverse line on the GUIII and guess what....
Inadvertaently connetced both the feed from the dual battery to the reverse light cable...now the car wont start...
i am guessing I have blown the inibitor switch by sending 12V 20 amp up the line instead of down...
Anyone help?
I am hard to change?
Zach

Hi Gu,
Never try charge through the trailer plug.
Fit an Anderson plug and its own earth wire etc.
The reverse signal is also a (+) the reverse lights should have come on but no real damage.
Check your fuses with a multimeter or
test lamp. Don't rely on eye inspection.
What are the other symptions.
Does it crank, do the reverse / stop lights work.
Regards Derek.

Problems with the reversing light circuit won't stop your vehicle from starting.
You have two problems is my guess.
Have you checked for and tested the fusable link, common in most cars.
As far as your reversing light circuit goes, you may have "cooked" a wire, or connection joint.
Before you do any other damage, take it to an Auto Electrician matey.
