Hey guys,

 

I bought a 1993 AE96 Corolla last weekend, it's stock as a rock and still in granny spec. I pulled the dash apart today to put in a new CD player and in doing so I somehow shorted the constant power to earth (when this connection was made the headlights came on) and now the car will not start. I have ignition power but turn the key and nothing happens, no relay or anything. Is there a fuse somewhere I have blown? I have checked all fuses in driver's kick panel and under the bonnet (I think).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Cheers, Chris.

Hi Chris,

It's possible you have shorted the constant power to chassis before the fuses, and that's why none of them are blown. Most likely it is one of the main fusible links. According to the wiring diagram I found on the net, there are three (3) main fuses in a box. the 100A one is for the alternator & the 40A & 30A one are for ignition & accessories etc. I'd be finding that box and checking in there first. Not having an AE96, I don't know where the main fuse box is. Maybe someone else on here can point you in the right direction. I would thing it won't be to far away from the battery.

Thanks for your help mate, I'm a special kind of retarded. Autos don't start when they're not in park!!!!!

We have all done it.

Good one Chris ! Glad it was something simple, and finished up not being a drama.

Yes this is my first auto so I am not up to date with all the tricks yet ha ha ha.

Does anybody know where there is a wiring diagram available for these cars?
