300GD no electrical power
300GD no electrical power
Please help
After having successfully started then turned off (300GD) briefly; I went to start it again, and:
1. I was holding the (manual) glow plug (push button) switch down, after ~7 secs
2. I cranked the engine (while holding glow plug switch down--possibly dumb move)
3. After ~ 2 secs of cranking a slight 'pop' noise (like a large fuze was blown) came from inside dashboard, (or possibly under the hood though unlikely as it wasn't loud).
4. ALL electrical power from vehicle cut out. No burning smell. Fuzes appear intact, battery has plenty of charge
5. When rotating ignition switch to 1st or 2nd position No electrical power.
Any ideas where to start?
