[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 487392, member: 28452"] The alternator is what I would expect to be the first casualty, then yes, I would be praying for my ECU. It just may escape, as the voltage would be greatly reduced by the fault current before the fusible link melted. Other electronics would probably be OK as long as the ignition switch was off. Have you found the "main fuse", AKA "fusible link" ? On recent vehicles I've seen its usually right by the battery. After all, its purpose in life is to prevent vehicle fires due to shorted wiring. (Comments based on generic vehicle systems; I know nothing about Renault). [/QUOTE]
