Replaced A Blown Fuse And Now Car Wont Start

[RIPae86]

Hi

Driving on the freeway my car was slowing down her and there even with the accelerator down. I pulled off the freeway and then all of a sudden it was like i ran out of fuel and slowed till a complete stop.

When it happened the light on the dash had the battery and the oil pressure light on at the same time before the car stalled. Had a look at all the fuses first and saw this one blown as highlighted in the picture and I replaced it. The car now does not start. Tried jumping it becuase I saw the battery light come on but no luck

Im not sure what it was for so if you recognise it please let me know. Car is an R32 GTS4

Does this help??

Don't think this is your problem.

But I have been wrong before...

Sounds like alternator is stuffed, meaning battery is run down hence why it stalled. Get RACV out. You'll be able to recharge the battery but without alternator it won't run long.

Have u checked for fuel or spark. Or done any basic checks?

thanks for that translation of the fuse box it was really helpful. It was the fuel pump fuse, it looked like it was fine but i replaced it anyway and it worked.

Thanks

No Worries. Happy to Help.

It took me about 2 mins to find. SEARCH is your friend.

I wonder why it blew.

Some of those 15 year + fuses are funny. I put a USB adaptor into my ciggy lighter, put an ipod into it and it popped.

Replaced it, and it hasnt done it since.

Would it be safe to assume the fuses get a bit brittle over time?
