Jump start mishap

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

There is a good chance you blew one of the main fuses to the ignition.

Check the following fuses:

Picture 1 and 2 show ignition fuses and specifically for the ICU and ignition coil. Locate and check these fuses.

Picture 3 shows the fuse box under the hood. Check the battery (50 amp) ECU (30 amp), the ECU B, the main (120 amp) and all ignition fuses and battery 2.

Here are a couple links to help:

Let me know what you find.

Sounds like a plan. Let me know the results.

Take care,

It is normal for it to be on with the key on and engine off. If you have it running and it is staying on, I suspect you may have blown the main fusible link. A fusible link looks like a wire but functions as a fuse. If the engine runs but the alt is not charging, check for power to the black wire at the alternator. See the attached picture.

Let me know what you find. If there is power, I would disconnect the battery and remove the alternator. Have it bench tested at a local parts store.

If you get to that point, here are the directions for removing the alternator. The remaining pictures, starting with the second one, correlate with these directions.
