Hi All
Looking for some help please !
I have a 2004 Rinker with a 6.2 MPI and I did a stupid thing....installed the battery terminals incorrectly. Now I have no iginiton or stereo or blower. All other electrical stuff like lights etc....work but will not start or even turn over. Don't even hear the fuel pump or any relay cut in.
Please help

Thanks

You can use a test light or voltmeter to see if batterey voltage is

I sure hope you are lucky with what was turned off and what was on when you hooked it up wrong, because that fuse blows from being shorted to ground. Reverse polarity is a whole new ballgame. Computeres (aka ECM's) don't like reverse polarity.
