Blew something Up
So I accidentally contacted the positive terminal of the battery with the negative cable and the sparks flew. Now the starter is not responding as if I had no starter at all. Still have head lights wipers etc..Any thought or suggestions to fix would greatly appreciated .
Thanks

Re: Blew something Up
Yes, I checked the fuse panel and my truck does not have a fusible link to the starter.
Thought I would try by passing the ignition with my remote our button starter at the starter/relay. |

Re: Blew something Up
Yes I did contact the positive post with the negative.we managed to jump the starter with the key on and got it going. So it may be a fusible link that went. Thanks for your suggestion on the purple wire. I will follow up. Thanks again

Re: Blew something Up
Have your Alternator and EVR checked out. You may have burned out diodes, in addition to your starter gripe.

I have to replace them so often these days, that we're on a first initial basis. The chinee ones don't live long.
