Maintenance/Repairs

Hi,

I have a 2015 Toyota Corolla: I failed to replace my old battery on-time and my drained battery surprised me on Christmas morning. I tried to jump-start it, long story short but something went wrong during jump-start and I lost all the lights on my dash (I can’t say I didn’t cross the cables but I’m pretty sure I was fully awake that morning).

I bought a new battery and replaced the old one, lights on dash are back on, the engine starts but there is no acceleration at all, the car just moves forward on D and backwards on R but no acceleration on gas pedal. I did some research and figured I might have blown a fuse, I opened my fuse box under my hood and found out my 10 Amp ETCS fuse is blown. I changed the fuse and now acceleration is back, I can drive the car but I get this ‘VSC System Check’ error on my dash, the ‘Check Engine’ light is also on and the AC fan is not working.

The AC fuse was blown, I tried swapping the fuse and it blew again as soon as I plugged it back in. Then I tried disconnecting the battery, waited 10 minutes, plugged the fuse in, connected the battery and it blew again. Then I tried swapping out the AC relay and changing the fuse and sadly it blew again. I am thinking it may be a bad AC blower, but it was working fine until the battery went dead.
