Fuse issue

[Fernando1614]

Hi I need help please. I checked 1 fuse on my astra 1.8 sri 2008 and now it won't start?

might want to elaborate a little.

Why were you "checking" a fuse ? and what fuse ? Did you just wake up one day and decide to check fuses ?

Does the car do anything ?

Hi lol I was checking fuse 15 on engine bay as rear wiper doesn't work. I checked it and it was OK so I put it back went to start the car to check if the wiper works and then what I have is engine warning light and other one with the spanner? The engine turns but it just won't start

Immobilised by the sounds of it. Have you tried locking it up and opening the door again either via the remote on the key or the door lock?

 

[Fernando1614]

Yes I have...also we pushed it and nothing....disconnect the battery and nothing....so frustrating cos I know is something silly which I can't figure it out!!!

Google the pedal test for Astra h. Should throw some codes up where the mileage display is

hi yes i have i have like 5 or 6 codes but what i cant understand just for checking the fuse for the rear wiper now it wont start? the engine turns perfectly well but it just wont start and i have the engine management light on and the one with the spanner. the car runned perfectly until i removed this fuse to check?

I would be checking all fuses
As you replaced the fuse it may have blew another
Test them with a meter to save pulling each fuse out

No idea about that. Tried the starter fuse?

astras can be a funny thing

did you pull the fuse out while it was running or the ignition in the on position ??
