Default What a start lol

Really keen to start new mod on the car today , opened the garage...pressed the key to unlock, nothing!

Mistake No 1

Tried a few times, thought great battery has gone in the key... locked the garage searched high and low for a spare - nothing. Thought try again. nothing, locked the garage, ordered a replacement batt (2 for 1) off ebay.
Then thought use the breakdown cover so went down again, dontknow why I looked inside and thought strange alarm light isnt flashing - I had left the side lights on all night lol

Mistake No 2

called my son, to jump start car using his Pug, connected leads to batteries, smoke started coming from the negative jumperlead on my car WTF. Ok I said, I'll jump in my car and turn the key you clip the lead on....same again???? Dad the wires melted WTF????
Turns out I had mixed the positive with negative on my sons car, when I realised all was fine.

yeah as it is directly connect to batt though the in-line fuse didnt blow, it was the one in the amp - usual setup, remote cable to head unit..it switches on when ignition key is present and head unit is turned on
