So flat battery on the Rallye was fittin all interior back into day so I put this booster pack I have on the battery so I could open an the boot, an I did the stupidest this ever got the terminals wrong now the car won't star pump priming intermittent. Tried different ECU it was the same could it just be the relay I have also removed that battery now as it will be f**ked

doubt it's made any difference to the battery, have seen it done numerous times. probably fused something, doubt you've done any major damage. have seen moron coach drivers with booster packs putting them on coaches wrong and its usually ok

It's because as you say - you put them on the wrong way round.

Try again this time putting the red jaw on the positive terminal.

    Have you individually checked the Relays to make sure none of them have burnt out?

    Checked the fuses within the engine bay?

    Has the fuel cut off switch enabled? (Red button top right of engine bay) - Press it and see whether that is the case.

    Sounds like the batteries f**ked. Have you offered a meter over it? Mine was just clicking when it dropped to 10v.

    check fuses, press that rubber fuel relay switch behind the ecu, check your battery,

    connecting the boooster pack may or shorted a cell or two in their meaning it wont ever be fixed by charging. it could still show the correct voltage but have minimal amperage.

    i may also suggest if you using a cheap battery charger you may be fooking/not fully charging your batteries.
    my garage charger will fill up my battery about 75 80 percent and say its full..
    if i then put it on my smart charger i can pump another 8 amp hours into it.

    its like this for all my SLA batteries

    this is what i have, honestly one of the best thing ive bought in a while, its saved me a fair few batteries from the tip. and all my batteries are charged up fully and safely and for 15-20 quid its well worth it

    don't do that, giving up is for losers.
    And I really want to know what's happened and what it takes to fix it!
