Marky67 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Hi boys, need your help here. As stated in earlier post, thermal link at live battery terminal found to be blown. Suspected cause was a dodgy jump start by garage doing some work? Replaced thermal link kindly supplied by zmanalex which I appreciate greatly. Battery charged and refitted. No spark at all when battery when terminals secured. Days lights on, turn key.. pop goes thermal link! at a loss here. Believe the starter motor could cause this. Looking for advice and recommendation for a garage in the north east who is good enough to find the fault without taking the **** money wise. Quote
karlh Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I don't have the schematics for UK cars, but for USA cars the starter is wired directly to the battery, not trough the thermal link. Quote
Marky67 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Posted January 18, 2019 Once had a similar issue different car type where alternator lead was shorting to metal.... still investigating. Wishin I was a mechanic now instead of a gas engineer. Quote
