Hopefully you've popped a fuse mate have you checked?

None of the car fuses have gone. Put it across a battery again and nothing happened.. opened the controller up and nothing looks damaged either couldn't see a internal fuse

There should be an inline fuse on the loom that plugs into the defi controller

Did the same thing once, knackered the controller. Tried to fix it by getting an electronics place I used in work to fix it but it was never the same. Used to show dodgy readings and would never go to the home position when switched off, they used to point all over the place.

Had to buy a new controller eventually.

Not sure if this is any interest to you, I have a Defi Controller unit for sale, not 100% tested but I'd be happy to refund you if it turned out to be trash
