I have a Citroen C4 that is suddenly out of power completely (just like having a dead battery). The battery is checked to be still good and there is no blown fuse.
I did some tests with my multimeter and found that there was continuity between the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery, meaning that there is at least one short circuit somewhere in the system.
I tried pulling out fuses one by one trying to break the continuity, but was in vain until I disconnect a battery fuse (125Amps) which can be traced to a connector in the fuse box (see photo).
I tried looking up the user manual but there was no indication of what the connection or the fuse is for. I tried to locate the relevant system by turning on the car with that connector disconnected, but the electrical system by and large is still not functioning.
I have thought about buying a short circuit finder (like ECT300) to trace the location of short circuit, but with the huge bunch of wires associated with the connector, I am not sure whether it would work and not give false alarms here and there.
Have anyone had any experience in dealing with this before? Any thoughts are much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
