[s-cars] UrS4 Battery melted, where's the blown fuse?

[chris chambers]

Doug,
I'm assuming you checked the fuses located at the driver's side end of the dash, did
you check the ECU fuse?
Could you descirbe what no start means, does it mean the engine turns over but doesn't fire or what?
Regards
Chris
