I need help! (A rarity for me)

I'm currently at work, stranded, without my 3rd gen workshop manual (Ironically, I have 1st and 2nd gen workshop manual sitting in my car).

I've lost all power to Accessories, On and Start. Battery is fine, along with constant power (ie. alarm/remote locking, hi beams, interior lights), but absolutely nothing happens when I turn the key at any points.

It seems like a main fusible link has gone dead, or one of the main relays, but the fuses and fusible links seemed to look good. The problem with the fuse box cover are that its full of symbols and doesn't tell me anything useful.

Can anybody email (NOT PM) or post up a section of the wiring diagram for me, or even better, tell me which main fuse/fusible link or relay is on the same circuit as the Accessories/On/Start line, but doesn't affect constant power????


Darn this, i can't afford to tow this thing home. :(

Sounds like you blew fusible link 19 - a 30A link.

See diagram.

Thanks for that Heath.

I'll go outside and take a closer look now.

Heath you're a lifesaver!

It was indeed that fusible link. Looked okay from the window, until I poped it out, and the bottom bit of the housing was charred.

This is going to be fun diagnosing the cause.

I'm having the same problem. I'm getting no volt on my acc line. The clock doesn't work any more, neither do my amplifiers.

That fuse you're takin about is the one with the key sign, right?
It looks fine with me. I even checked it for continuity using a multimeter and got resistance.

What else could be the problem??:cry:
