That all depends on whether or not you turned the key on with the battery t erminals reversed. I did this once and nothing happened except that the ammeter showed a disharge while it was actually charging. I think you have changed the polarity on components of your vehicle. I'd put them back on right and see if it will start and see if everything works all right. If you had the cables reversed while trying to jump start a car it will Fry everything.

What do you have to do to get the battery out of a Chevy Venture?
In my experience you will need to remove the cross brace over the battery. You wil also need to remove the fuse block from the brace and pull it aside. There is a 13mm bolt holding the battery holddown bracket in place that needs removed. this requires a long extention to get past the battery. Once removed you can remove the battery cables and battery.

How do you get the battery out of an 1984 Olds Omega?
Disconnect the negative ground cable, then the positive cable. There is a center bolt holding the cables in place. Remove the battery hold down clamp which is located in front of the battery. You will probably need an rachet with an extention to get down to the hold down clamp which is between the battery and the front of the battery bracket. It may be necessary to remove the cross piece that runs across the top of the battery in order to remove it from the car. Hope this helps.
What do you understand by square mm of electric cables?
In European countries and elsewhere, the cross-sectional area of electric cables and busbars are expressed in square millimetres. The larger the cross-sectional area, the greater the current-carrying capacity.
How do you reset the check engine light on 2001 Hyundai?
THIS WORKS!!!!!! It will work for all cars. Disconnect the both cables from the battery terminals. Hold the two cables together--in contact--for 10-15 seconds. MAKE SURE you do not touch the battery terminals with the cables while you are touching them to each other. [The first part of the next sentence makes no sense whatsoever.]This will drain the remaining battery in the cables themselves and it clears the computer. Simply reconnect and wah-lah. fixed. [I think the writer means that holding the two battery-cables in contact will drain the remaining "juice" in the cables, but that does not seem to me to be a correct description of what results from holding the two cables in contact with each other for 10-15 seconds.][touching the cables together will short the cars entire electrical circuit, clearing any charge held in the computer systems. Some cars may require the key to be in the accessory position. DO NOT DO CROSS THE CABLES IF THE CAR IS RUNNING. Also, do not do this if your car has a second battery (this is found on some security systems and some European cars). Cars with such systems usually have a jumper that, when shorted, will reset the computer. If you are unsure if you car has such a system, please check your manual or take the car to a mechanic. NOTE: some cars may require a code to be entered into the stereo unit after disconnecting the battery. This is true on SAABs and BMWs, among others.]AnswerCheck out the O2 sensors.might be bad, or not connected [off topic - this is a common problem but please answer the question]
