Revesed polarity during a jump !!
Hey guys,
Exhausted from working my 3 jobs, I got up this morning to jump start the SC-2, I accidentally reversed the polarity on it... By the time i realized what happened, 2 seconds, the sparking and popping had stop... I thought I checked all the fuses, but cant seem to find the one that blew, which fuse is the most likely culprit ? Also, anything else I may have managed to f'up ? Thanks,

There is a panel inside the car and a second under the hood. Can not begin to guess what has failed without symptoms. The battery is now junk that is for sure and if it was going dead overnight there are probably other existing problems.

Re: Revesed polarity during a jump !!
My oldest son did that on his Sunfire last year...He got lucky and just fried the diodes in the alternator. After a new alt, down the road he went.
... When in stressful situations look to man's best friend for the best advice: "If you can't eat it and you can't play with it, just pee on it and walk away."
