car won't start

[jam996]

Hi everyone, I was triying to install a backup camera on my AVIC Z2 today, and while I was splice'n the power wires it touched toghether, and the Z2 just turned off as if it blew up a fuse. I tried resetting it but no luck. Now on my car everything works but the engine wont start. lights works everything works, just wont start. I know I should have uplugged the battery, but kinda slipped my mind.

Please share your thought on what might have happend, any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks

Have you tried looking through ALL your fuses yet? If not, do that first.

Sounds to me like the problem is part of the immibilizer/alarm system. Have you tried disconnecting the battery to try and reset the system if all the fuses are OK. Good luck with the diagnose and I'm sure there are more suggestions coming from the "experts" !! demosan

yes I checked all the fuses and unplugged battery to reset but still no luck.

Ok, I unplugged the battery and removed the Z2, I was trying to figure out what was the problem for about 20 min. and then when I plugged back the battery, the car started. and the Z2 worked too, I guess some kind of hard reset.

thanks anyways guys.

Sounds like the first attempt of battery disconnect and reset was not long enough. I seem to recall the time to complete a reset of alll the CPU's in the car is 10 minutes ( or so)!!

Great ot hear you are "good to go" without a dealer trip!! :cheers:
