Hi guys, first I'd like to introduce myself as a newbe here. I am Adrian from Gibraltar, I've had a problem free Honda Accord type-s for about 3 1/2 years.
Now for the problem ...After having to charge the battery due to not using the car for a couple of months, when I went to wire it I stupidly put the wires the wrong way round. I only noticed when something was clicking and one of the terminals didnt fit. Changed it the right way round and the car was dead. There was no smoke or burning smell (I clearly remember checking)
The first thing I found was I had blown the multi-block fuse. After replacing the fuse I got another bag of nasty surprises, no radio/aircon display and the dreaded ABS, TCS and red brake warning light.
The radio was an easy fix, only needed a new 10amp fuse but I am stuck with those lights.
Now the history is that before all this, my brakes squealed a bit needing a change of pads but I had no lights at all. I've checked my brake fluid and it seems fine although I could not check the float as I cannot see one.
Another factor is that during the car was parked up in my covered carking space resurfacing works have been carried out up to where my space is. Could the sensors be fouled up with dust from the works?
I'm going to replace the pads anyway and see how it goes but any thoughts?
And appologies for the long essay lol :blush:
