Hi all, i've just changed the autobox on the Z but didn't realise the battery had been re-connected the previous night to lock the car so when i've reconnected the starter motor i've touched the casing with the 13mm spanner while attaching the live causing it to arc. Now there is no power, what fuses should i be looking to check as i can't seem to find any blown. Many thanks in advance.

there is a load of fuses in the drivers footwell next to the accelerator behind a cover....cant recall what ones exactly but its a good place to have a look

doing what you have done will never blow any fuses as the starter cable runs direct to the battery. check both pos & earths at the battery, also check the body earth.

It wasn't connected properly at the battery, i just assumed when my mate said he connected the battery to lock the car, he had done it properly .Doh :slap:

Thanks for all the help anyway. Much appreciated.

Cheers Steve.

Check the fusible link box by the brake master cylinder, it may be that the big 100A loop wire in there has blown, or possibly one of the links themselves.
