    NO window/fan/cig/wiper power

    Hi,
    As I can FINALLY post, here goes...

    D2, 2003, 94k, v8, Auto

    just needed to replace the power steer pump (old was 'moving' which stuffed 2 pulleys & car would almost stall while on full-lock in reverse!)... picked it up from mechanic... Now have NO windows, NO wipers, NO cig/accessory, NO fan motor (lights come on, but cannot hear fan).
    BATTERY light has come on on the dash.

    Checked ALL fuses (under bonnet & by steering wheel) with OHM & all have continuity.
    swapped relays under bonnet.

    now its STILL at the mechanics & they have no idea, & I have to drive to Bright at 3pm!

    do you have any idea what it could be?
    I suspect a fuse/fusible link/relay, but cannot identify it

    Ohh the ongoing issues, its killing my enjoyment... so far ( in less than a year of ownership) its needed the A/C completely rebuilt, & it now kinda works when it is cold... However last night I found that the sensor was full of dust/lint & once vacuumed out I also found there was a fan in there, which now spins, so hopefully that will fix that issue ... but I have no idea why the 'specialist' missed that simple fix.
    the RH rear airbag raised to the max (while driving to Sydney at Xmas), & blew (luckily once we were home)... so off it went to get 'fixed', but noone could diagnose the cause, so not its got rear springs, & yet another dash-light for the collection (it sure looks like there is a Disco going on in there this week!) & a few less fuses/relays to stop the alarms!
    but thats all for another day.

    the BATTERY (which is new) has the 'light' that shows charge... last night there was no light, now it is RED, so I guess it is now flat as well!

    I have been informed that it may be that the belt was put on in the incorrect route

    Hi check fusible link FL7 engine bay fusebox, undo the lead one side and check continuity of maxi FL1 and if it has continuity connect it back, start the engine and check voltage on the battery, should be around 14V+ cos that battery warning(no charge) on the dash can be due to FL1 or bad alternator but rather bad alternator cos that would drain the battery over night as well

    sierrafery, I will get them to check those shortly

    Update:
    Belt was on correctly.
    Battery was put on charge, & its dead (was only 6mth old!), well still 12.04v & does not appear to be accepting charge.
    the mechanic came up with faultcode: 9C "Main Voltage Supply Failure"

    Do I have a vague memory of blown rear brake or tail light globes causing these symptoms?.....

    Problem SOLVED

    They worked out it was a main fusible link that had blown, even though they had not touched it!
    at least its back on the road again.
    Thanks for your input

    Yeah, and I have a great bridge to sell to you if you believe that.
    Fusible links are not known for spontaneous combustion.
