Starter fused cable.

[CallyTeee]

Got a wee issue where my positive from my battery touched the exhaust and blew the fuse that's built into the cable, can I do away with the fuse or how do it get a replacement? Anyone know the rating of it as it's not very clear to read.



Cheers

Anyone??

it looks like this

This happened to my car with a previous owner. They ran a thick wire from posi terminal into a megafuse the join to the original cable.. Does the same thing but looks bulky.. Yeah you need to keep a fuse though! Think it was 125amp, will have to check though

120A and officially you have to replace the entire starter cable as Renault will not sell the fused link/crimp on its own.

You could solder the link or just cut it off all together but the link is there for a reason.

Buy a new red plastic cover, its about £10 from Renault.

Red plastic cover isn't going to help the fuse being blown is it. Changing the whole cable won't be hard once the loom is out the car.. Bit of a ballache to get the loom out though!! Get mick to do it.. He'd love that job

 

[Mr R.]

No maybe not, but it will look nice.

Next time yes it will,if the rhing that touches next time is the ecu cover, lol.

It touched the exhaust, not the ecu cage according to the OP, so it would still have happened.

However he does still need one

Might be the ehxaust last time, but could be ecu cage next time

not to worry guys .... I have had a red plastic cover the whole time was only off for the picture. problem has been solved, I managed to get a replacement original part from a breaker and made a crimped join in the cable and the cars is back to life, and back on track to being prep'd for its next mod... cheers again
