69 Chevelle won't start...HELP!!!!!
Please help. This is probably pretty stupid coming from an electrician, but here goes. A couple of months ago I took a bad battery out of my Chevelle and exchanged it for a new 1. Starts simple huh? Well when I got home and put it in, my dumbass put it in backwards (Positive-Negative, Negative-Positive) not only once...but twice. Yes I did see some crazy smoke coming from my wiring and saw that my amp fuse and my radio fuse were blowin. Well, after I saw what I did, I put the battery in right, replaced the fuses, and the car and everything else worked fine. About a month ago I had to move the Chevelle to make room for a garage sale we were doing. I got in sat down turn the key and nothing...dead battery. So I got a jump from my wife and the car turned over fine. The next time I went to start it was where it gets tricky. I turned the key only to here, "Click, click, click" and smoke coming off of the solenoid. AWWWWW!!!!!!
Please help. What did I do and how can I fix it? I miss not driving her.
