B0ll0cks!!!! - managed to connect up the jump leads to the battery terminals the wrong way cry
To be fair it was bloody dark and no light in the footwell….

Alarm is just beeping at me now - no door locks - no fuel pump priming.

Checked both the 100A fuses - all ok.
I have MS ECU (which I think has a fuse inline - not blown)
There is also another 30A fuse in the loom which is ok.

What else am I likely to have cooked?

Will go through the fuses in the footwell tomorrow but not a competent electrician. Anywhere else I should check???

I think you will have destroyed the battery, what voltage is it giving now? You basically created a short circuit between the 2 batteries, you're lucky one of them didn't explode in your face.

Disconnect the battery and reconnect tomorrow - if your lucky it may just be the alarm

Well I'd as providing you didn't turn the ignition on just the alarm module , hope it's all ok it's a sinking feeling. Last nite I screwed in the injection nozzle into the pipework post intercooler and snapped it off !

The MS will be unscathed as it sees no power until you switch on the ign i.e no constant 12+ necessary unlike the Lucas wink result.
