I'm such an idiot!!! - Booster cable misshap...
I crossed the friggin wires. - I've boosted tons of cars but for some
dumb reason I goofed-up this time! BIG MISTAKE! Anyway, now my wife's 95 neon SOHC (the dead car in need of the boost) is even more dead! I switched the cables around after I noticed smoke comming from the booster cables themselves (damn!) and tried to juice it up but NOTHING! No dash lights etc... I know I could have toasted the alternator but I shouldn't I atleast get interior lights etc... if the battery's got juice - right? The fusible link should protect the PCM and all other components when people make stupid mistakes like I just did eh? Thanks for any input folks. Go ahead and make fun of me. Mike UPDATE - ok - I got out there to check all the fuses and they're all good. With my trusty digital MM I tested the fusible link and power is going through it. I pulled out the ignition fuse under the hood to be sure the box was getting power and it too is getting power. I'm thinkin... ok... - perhaps I fried the alternator or starter??? - But shouldn't all of my interior lights still work? - Some things should still receive power right? I had the battery tested too - and it's good! Any ideas out there? Thanks once again in advance. Mike |
