I installed a kick as sound system on my s12 drained the battery while i was testing it so i pulled my other s12 to jump start the car. Engine was running i clipped the jumper on accidently the positive and negative cable touched for 1 second and sparked. Engine was still running. I jumped start the other car all ok. However the other s12 will no longer start now after i shut the engine off.. Checked all the fuse all ok but still will not crank the starter or anything even when i try to jump start it from the other s12 it just clicks any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated i love s12.

fusable link is blown

it's in the black box by the driver's headlight - the black (or green, i forget) fusable link will be blown. replace it.

Yeah, they sell them at Repco - take the old one in so you can match it.

Hope you got it fixed!

I have another s12 i pull out some parts. There are 2 boxes i see on the engine bay one is located behind the drivers side headlight i opened it and have 4 plugs that have 1 black 2 greens and one red. I swapped all of them from the other s12 still the same. I have found another box on the firewall right driver hand side next to the battery i opened it and there are a bunch of relays from what it looks to me there are 2 blacks and 1 green. Kinda hard to pull off should i pull them off? Or could this be the pcm main computer gone?

I pulled out all relays still no luck... Could the starter get damaged for this? It just ticks if i try to start her up..

fusible link. not relay.
about 1/4 to 1/3 the size of a relay.

someone got a photo they can show please? i am not near my car.

there's four in a row and one of them (the big one) is the main power one. it blows when you do things like attach the power/battery the wrong way.
