After changing a seized alternator the main fuse popped! But now my headlights, side lights, fog lights all the lights really except indicators, window wipers, washers all stopped working! Could this be a result of the popped fuse (Sunday and there's no motorist discounts open today ,they're different to standard fuses)

Hello mate...
If I'm not mistaken, all of those accessories you've made mention of are controlled from within the BCU.
For starters, you could check for any blown fuses within the fusebox in the engine compartment and work from there.... All the best
 
Don't bother with a BCU 300tdi don't have one assuming that is what u have, but you can still check for blown fuses and in particular your fuse-able links which look after multiple circuits.

Always a good idea to state the vehicle you are talking about.:)
 
what do you mean by "main fuse"? which FL? ... some of them have to do with the lighting some dont... and if it blew and you dont know why it will blow again when you fit the new one... didnt you create a short-circuit somewhere by replaceing the alternator?

Sorry yes it's a discovery 300tdi. The main fuse under the bonnet, I changed the alternator and the earth and live feed touched causing the fuse to blow :eek: and its been since then everything stopped working, will the blow alternator fuse stop the lights, wipers and washer from working? Also the rev counters stopped working too but I know that runs off the alternator

Click the "User CP" (control panel) link on top of the page and then "Edit Signature" under "settings and options". This allows you to have the same text at the bottom of all your posts; as well as your name you can include details about which Landy you have.
