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?

if its RHD no problem!!

LOL, please state what happens when you crank?

haha...noo its a normal ST.



it tries to crank over but it just wont. when i put the key in the lights next to the gauge all light up. My radio doesnt even turn on.

i would start to check fuses first. also get a multimeter and check battery juice.

check all your fuse and amp from the engine bay and under your kick panel.

thanks guys.



if the fuses blown that means nothing is really damaged than?

No you just replace the fuses and you should be good to go..

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.

I had a similar situation like this and blew a fuse actually might have been 2 or 3, one of the fuses was something like A1 or something like that under the hood in the fuse box. I had no power at all, no crank, no dash, charged it over night and nothing. I figured out that the main power fuse had blown and had to bend the pieces back together to get to an autoparts store cost me like 2 bucks to fix the entire problem. Took me a while to be able to diagnose the problem and a few posts on here.

I was in a similar situation... I reversed the cables one time while jumping my car with a friends car. The battery light came on in my friends car, but there was no damage to either vehicle?

I'm in Portland too

Did you get it figured out?
