RFChris Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 A car battery is connected on opposites (ie black to red, red to black) and it melts the wires, how bad is this to the car? Is it terminally dead? Chris
Admin Vista Posted January 4, 2007 Admin Report Posted January 4, 2007 Depends how far the melt has gone through the loom I guess. Nothings every terminally dead until it's crushed. But depending on what the car is it may be dead from a monetary perspective.

Is it terminally dead? Chris What have you done? Nothing mate, been offered a car thats all. Itd be good for work so laura can have the Vectra.
nitrousnutter Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 hmmm, depends what car?? if its modern rubbish with an ecu you'll probably have cooked it, and have to get a new one, but if its an osf just replace the melted wires and see that nothing they join up with (distributor, coil, headlights...etc...) are damaged or melted and it should be ok fingers crossed for you, i had a friend connect jump leads up back to front on a fiat cheekycunto and it spiked the ecu and made it run like shit, needed a new one which cost 150 plus fitting. anyways hope its not so bad mate Jason...
escort greg Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 oh dear mate did this once after fitting car alarm and cooked the ecu ooops
