Hi
Alt was boiling the battery, so disconned it... Ooops... and volts shot up beyond meter scale, blew every light and god knows what else.
Limped the rest of the 700miles off battery from the caravan on jumps thru window and fly wires to run solenoid and similar to starter.
No glow plugs or run..
fuse 3 (sat 1)-run pops immediately
Fuse 18 (elec mirrors) as above
Fuse 17 gloplugs ok.
Apparently there is a relay that has burnt out, a specialist told me if I change that I can go back to starting off the key. Stupid perhaps, but mirrors are good as I drive on both sides of the road (UK/eu/when drunk) often hauling big things, so a very useful mod con.
Alarm has been disabled via a plug in delete programmer, though it is utterly bypassed now anyway.
Looked at schematics, but all the options and poor. Cross referencing of relays/options etc etc just made me wanna puke (on a phone)
So, now 900 miles from home, hope someone can point me in the right direction to hone in on a ruined run critical relay, I dont really want to open every damn one up and inspect!
Fuel guage doesn't go below half any more either, needs keeping an eye on!
Temp guage and Speedo, alt light and oil still good, happy days.
Thanks for reading
