A buddy was helping me work on my 85 K10 and hooked the battery up backwards. I heard a pop and seen smoke in the area in the picture. No power at all now. Please help!!

Check the block on the firewall.

Re: Reversed battery now now power
Is that a type of fusible link?
|
Re: Reversed battery now now power
There should be.

Re: Reversed battery now now power
happened to me too, was the little junction block on firewall as mentioned
|
Re: Reversed battery now now power
The junction block itself isn't a fusible link. But one or more of the wires connected there have them. Also, fusible links can blow and still have most of the insulation intact.
A OEM fusible link normally is butt connected to the wire inside a hard plastic cylinder that is about 3/8"x1". |
Re: Reversed battery now now power
Is that a fusible link where the two wires going into one right before the junction block? If so what size link would i need?

Re: Reversed battery now now power
Can't tell for sure. The pic pixelates too much on zoom in. My 75 has a single wire in that spot with a link and a 2nd single wire without. Don't know if OEM wire sets ever ran dual wires bound to one link. Could be a PO combined both wires on one link.

Re: Reversed battery now now power
Yes should be down a 6-8" on the first, then the other is down by the starter. The have black plastic joined in the middle of the wire at that point and that the {fusible link} so this is How GM did it if your wire lead is say is 14GAUGE the fusible link will be at the plastic 16GAUGE so it melts there but not the rest of the wire.
( But the Factory Gauge Fusible Links seem to be a little bit thicker then the After market replacements.) |
