Hi,

Today i just parked my skoda superb and after few hours when i entered the car, it was surprised that there is no display, no horn, no front lights...........nothing just blank, inside lights and door lights only, battery brand new ..................put the key inside ignition nothing ......... any help please?

Dead battery?

@drefaldwyn......thanks for prompt reply.........the battery is checked its fully charged........just one update, as in India its stormy rainy now a days.......might somewhere water resisting???

 

 

Water may be resting in the scuttle that runs along the bottom edge of the windscreen which is where the ecu is also located.

 

Remove the plastic trim just by pulling it up, one side (on uk right hand drive it's the passenger side) will come off without having to remove the wiper arm, this will let you see if there is water in there.

 

Also if new battery has been fitted already, worth double checking the connections are all firmly done.

I'd look at what has changed recentley - if the battery is brand new then something may have been disturbed when it was fitted eg Battery leads or Earth lead!

Update : The main fuse with the battery was the culprit.....................changed and everything is OK now.  Thanks to all valuable members for supporting.........

Still slightly worrying, did the fuse due or was it killed?

Sir it was killed and replaced.......i too worried coz why the fuse was killed? If something is wrong then only the fuse will be killed to save any destruction to the system. 

Hi the fuse has done its job, did you replace the battery or a mechanic. perhaps the battery was shorted to ground during fitting and this load drew too much power and the fuse blew. Fuses although supposed to last forever do get weaker over time, and quite possibly the high humidity  in the rainy season may have caused a resistive load....speculation of course. Usually when a fuse blows it will blow almost immediately again, but as Fuses get weaker this episode could, and hopefully ,be a one off.

Sir that's what i am thinking, when i asked the mech he told me the battery terminal might put wrong.........its rule something wrong with the system, fuse will blast to save the system, now, the question, which part of system is affected.........but the mech told me its due to battery was put in wrong term.......i think i have to check with VCD......RIGHT??? Sir

 

A fuse is a safety device to prevent damage to the circuit to which it has been fitted. Therefore once the circuit has been broken by the fuse blowing the damage should be limited to the fuse only. I am no electrician by far but a fuse is a protection device and the fuse has protected what it was supposed to. The amount of current supplied by a battery  would quite simply blow the cars electrics apart without the necessary fused and relay protected circuits. A VCDS scan will confirm  and put your mind at rest but I am sure there is not going to be anything wrong.

Beautifully explained...........Thanks roynhayley for the courage you gave.
