Hi Glyn There is a fusible link (two in most versions of lhe loom) concealed in the loom in the feed from battery positive to the un-fused ignition circuits (and in the feed from battery positive to the rest of the electrical equipment). They provide "last resort" protection in the event of crash damage or chafing or a major component failure causing a short to earth upwind of user-replaceable fuses or in an un-fused circuit. One is between the starter and alternator and the other is in the positive lead quite close to the battery, It sounds likely that the latter one (at least) has failed. Those links are usually 100% reliable and will not fail unless a *very* high current has passed. So you might have a major short. But just a thought - is there any possibility the new battery is the wrong type, with terminals the other way round so that you have connected positive to negative and vice versa? That would certainly blow the fusible link(s). Hopefully you have not done that because it would very likely do other damage.
You need a multimeter and someone who knows how to use it... Hope that helps Bill On Thursday, May 28, 2015 at 6:25:40 AM UTC+1, Glyn Scoltock wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I am a long time fan of Quantums and I drive an 1800 turbo-diesel , in > black , 2+2 number Q02-098.
