If you don't have a meter to test the fusible links...

Take them out
Put one pin on the battery +ve, your test light on the other pin and the clip to earth
Light = good, no light = bad

These are the Main Fuses and you should be able to see if one of them is blown by looking through the top - there should be a thin piece of copper going across the top which links the two pins and transfers the 12V feed through to the car. This thin strip inside will melt and separate, so that you can see a gap when they blow.

If you cant see that, then remove them, and check them with a Multimeter if you have one.

In my 08 crd I have a 2 lots of relay and fuses in the engine bay.
One next to the battery and the other on the fire wall side of the battery..
Both house relays and fuses..

But.. if it was a main fuse all would be dead.. hopefully you haven't fried the ignition barrel

As others have said you'll want to be checking all the fuseable links to see what you tripped.

I tripped the big blue one in the middle once before when shorting out tools on the body whilst working on the 12v system

Hi
Can anyone offer advice please,

I was hooking up an led reverse light, i found a wire coming from the ignition switch that was live and terminated in insulation tape going nowhere, I was stripping the insulation to join a wire to the light switch and earthed the pliers on the body.

I'm trying to understand your mishap.
Are you saying you knew the "mystery wire" with the termination was battery positive line to start with or found out after accidentally short circuiting it?
I'm guessing it's the latter.
I can understand accidentally short circuiting a positive wire to earth by sticking pliers near it, but I can't understand the reason to strip the termination insulation off when you know it's not related to your job(hooking up an LED reverse light).

A big spark and I lost power to ignition, I cant use electric windows either.
I get a fast ticking noise coming from under the dash so gotta disconnect the battery, the wire was live even with ignition turned off, I have an after market immobiliser/alarm which i turned off in the engine bay, but the ticking noise still happens when i reconnect the battery.
Any help would be appreciated as i cant lock it or wind up the windows, just prayin it dont rain

I'm guessing the terminated wire with insulation might have been immobilizer/alarm related wire. Perhaps a redundant wire for the(a) rear door?!!

How did you turn off the aftermarket immobilizer? Did you switch it off from the unit?
You may have cooked the relay related to the immobilizer/alarm.

Check that relay for functionality.

You more then likely have blown the 50 amp fuse. Bottom right in Bacho86 picture.

I've replied to your a PM.

I'm suprised anything works on Bacho86 truck... 1/2 his fuses have been put in upside down

Always fit replacement fuses upside down, easier for fault finding later when you forgot what you have done already.
