L200 Not starting

#1 by steve123 ( Guest ) , Tue Mar 05, 2019 10:52 am

Hi all, after fitting some new speakers it would appear Ive accidentally shorted something somewhere. The illuminous blue Barbarian internal lights are not lighting up and the vehicle wont start, when the push button is pressed it makes a repetitive ticking noise and wont turn over.... Any ideas what this could be?

Cheers

check the fuseable links in the box they look like big fuses

Hi hotchef, I have looked at the fusible linked fuses without removing them and they look ok. The battery is now flat (multimeter reading 6Vdc)

Is it possible if Ive reversed the speaker polarity that this could drain the wire or cause a ground fault? Only thing is both speakers and components are working.

Does any one know what fuse would be for the illuminous blue internal floor lights and Barbarian lighting on sills? none of these are lighting up and cant see anywhere in the book regarding these fuses, only the head trim lights which are working fine.

Cheers

As it stands from yesterday, battery was flat (or almost, couldn’t start the truck), looks like my interior blue lights are fused but I can’t find the fuse to replace it...

@Nick , didn't you mention a while back that there is a ballast that supplies the power for the illuminated barbarian units ?
where was that located ?
or was it someone else who mentioned it ?
