What is the month/year? Does your Galaxy have standard headlights or HID?

 

Chances are its the large 110A fuse F106 in the Battery Junction Box which is located in the engine bay. If its blown, take care when replacing, its possible you have a short in the loom somewhere! Try switching off all electrical stuff and use a small fuse (or 15A fuse wire) and turn on the ignition - check that it doesnt just blow again!

I am assuming the battery junction box is the same as the main fuse feed box????as i believe the wiper fuse is in the main fuse feed box.Or is the battery junction box the silver fuse box at the back of the engine bay?

hi guys thanks for the replys

 

have checked the bjb it says as you say the 110a fuse which is fine

 

i have sent power to the yellow and black wire on the ignition and i have power going to all the things that was not working.

 

would this mean my ignition barrel is naft

 

as i have no power to the yellow/black wire when i turn to pos 2

 

and thank you very much for your help

hi seat kid its a december 2002 has normal headlights

 

the problem seems to be no volts going to the yellow/black wire at the ignition

 

could it be a relay faulty,if so how do i test them

 

thank you for your time

[seatkid]

You do indeed seem to have a duff ignition switch.

 

12 volts goes in on the red and red/yellow and should leave on the yellow/black and black wires when turned to pos 2 (normal run pos)...... check the red wire has permanent 12v as this is the source for the yell/black feed....

You should be able to change the ignition switch without changing the Key and lock segment. The switch should be accessable once the cowling is removed.
