Hey 6gc members i was hoping maybe you guys could help me with this one.
soo a couple of days ago i...did the stupidest thing a car owner could do. i jumped my car with the cables backwards. AH. ****. I know it was stupid. i read online that i would have to change the 100amp fuse, and i did. It seemed like that was the only one that had blown? can anyone give like.. a diagnosis of what i need to do to get my baby running again? |

Reverse termination can really screw up the battery too, well.... u were jumping it... probably bad neways. lol Just start pullin and replacing all the fuses u see
Remember proper way to jump a battery... :::connect red on positive of good car, connect other red on positive on dead car. Connect black on negative on good car, then finally connect the other black one on a ground of the dead car, preferably the engine (NOT THE NEG BATTERY POST on the dead battery)::: if you dont belive me, i used to work for a car battery company, if your levels are low, the immediate voltage will jump the straps and create an explosion. |
