Hi there i have Vauxhall Vivaro and by mistake i touched not hard a spanner on to live battery terminal van now it will now not start turn over no lights only - central locking works and alarm works also full power battery what fuses will i need to check thank you
@@1must723 you mean you shorted between the battery +ve and the body of the van? Does the ignition come on and is there any clicking if you try to start the van?
@@aguyandhisgarage a spanner just touched the live terminal i have just checked the bus bar fuses across the top of battery all good and no clicking only hazarder lights and locks work and alarm all lights are out no dash info
@@1must723 if it only touched the live and nothing else I can't think of what it may have damaged as it has not shorted across anything. Have you tried checking your main fuse box and the fuse box under the bonnet for to make sure all are good?
@@aguyandhisgarage ok thanks will do only happened late last afternoon today i will check over them thanks you for getting back to me will let you no how it goes

Had awful trouble starting my 03 vivaro. Long story short i had broken earth strap behind nearside wheel which attached to gearbox.
Thanks for sharing
