    No Power

    OK so I'm an idiot! My battery was dead, it was dark out and i accidently hooked up booster cables backwards to the battery. Now I get nothing. I've had the battery tested and recharged and it's fine. There was a blown 15A ignition fuse in the right fuse block. Any ideas on what else I might have fried??

    If you're lucky, change the ignition fuse and ignition relay. If your unlucky, get a new ECM as well.

    Thanks for the feedback. Didn't consider the relay.

    Yes it has , I have noticed newer Batt come with poles so that the Batt fits more applications, were as before there was no way to hook up ass backwards and fry parts. Just my 2cents. I do understand this case was just mistaken identity.

    Thanks for your help Cooter. It ended up being the key switch relay that was causing the fuse to blow. I ended up replacing all three relays for good measure and she fired right up. I guess I really dodged a bullet as it could have been much worse...lesson learned. I will be cleaning all the grounding points next.
