172 phase 2 won't turn over, 120a fuse blown

[GolfR]

Hi,

My clio 172 started yesterday after not being started for a couple of months, then it stopped and wouldn't turn over.
I did some investigation with my multimeter and found that the 120a fuse has blown so thought I would use some jump leads to bypass the fuse to see is it turned over which ended with a huge spark and the jump leads trying to melt themselves to the terminal:/

I am not sure what the 120a fuse protects and am at a loss what has blown to cause the short, any help most appreciated.

Thankyou for the link, I am concerned that the new starter cable/fuse will blow once installed. I initially tried jumping the car but got the same sparks which were big enough for me to check I had the cables on the right terminals.

Ah, just re-read the link, I'll check the cable isn't touching anything when I get home

Renault do sell a fused link, but you need to make some modifications.
