2009 Holden Colorado won't start?

Postby Maria » Fri Feb 06, 2015 8:10 pm

Just went to start a 2009 Holden Colorado in reverse by accident. Chucked it in nuetral to start it and now it won't even let me put the lights on? When I turn the key nothing happens. A few lights on the dash and that's it. Anyone have a clue? Rather not have to tow anywhere. Thanks.

Haha possibly... I'll have a look at that tomorrow. Roughly had a look at the fuses. It's manual.

It's acting like the battery is flat now... It was sweet as before. Won't jump start though. I'll try leaving the terminals off over night. Thanks for the help.

check all your battery terminals are tight and your earth straps are all good clean connections :D

Check the master fuse under bonnet. Maybe the excess load from trying to start in gear overloaded the "fusible link or fuse".

Just guessing though.
