I have 2005 3l d4d, had a flat battery, starter solenoid clicking but not turning over, and asked a friend for a jump start. I connected the leads to one of my batteries and my friend then connected his.
Unfortunately he connected his the wrong way round. Immediately of there was a flash from his battery and both my indicators came on. I pulled of the crocodile clip on my battery.
With the clips on the correct way the panel lights all came up but when trying to start there was no click from the solenoid.
I checked the batteries and one of them was way down so I replaced it. Trying to start again there was no click from the solenoid.
The big question is how much has been messed up? Could it be the immobiliser, starter relay or something else?
Any advice would be appreciated.
