92 Protege SL
Hey everyone,

My 92 Protege wont come on basically at all... the headlights (high and low) will come on, but thats it nothing else comes on. the battery died in the car last week, and when my father went to replace it (I was out of town and he said he'd take care of it) he had the battery the wrong way, and possibly caused a short. not sure if that was the cause or not.

anyway, what I was wondering is if someone might have an idea where I can find the problem and a possible fix.

or maybe a wiring diagram?

Thank you very much for your Time,

Kevin
 
yep master fuse is probably burnt...maybe even a fuseable link burnt near the battery.
 
check the 80 amp fuse in the underhood fuse block, its most likely blown, you can buy a replacement at local auto part store for about 4 bucks, be carefull as the fuse is bolted in, you can't just pull it out.

i actually just bought a car with that fuse blown, it was doing exact same thing, headlights would work, but nothing else would
