Depends how many wires got fried. Could be a lot.
Replace the wiring that was burnt.
NOOO!! you cant, it fried the battery i used to have and the computer in my seadoo!
You can count on the alternator diodes being fried. But you might be able to have it tested. After that, much of the OTHER stuff has protection. Unfortunately, polarity protection is difficult if not impossible with an alternator.
Well the wiring was probably fried, but that is because the terminals were hooked to the wrong wires. Although when you hook a battery up backwards there are many sparks, i do not see how someone would not have noticed that it was hooked up wrong.
Wire from computer is fried, alternator/diode/voltage reg. is fried, battery is no good, cable from alt. to battery fried(fusible link), Fuse, Or Computer is Toast. 2003- 2004 Ford Crown Vic has computer controlled alternator Check yellow/yellow white wire, enjoy, kinda sucks
You may have blown fuses, burnt wires, or even "killed" a computer. You may need to tow it to a service shop. ANOTHER ANSWER Did it start at all after you put in the battery? It COULD be that you destroyed the diodes inside the alternator. If you don't have experience rebuilding an alternator, don't even bother to try to repair it, just get another. Connecting a battery backwards will almost ALWAYS destroy the alternator diodes. As for the computer, it's possible that you fried it as well as the radio and just about anything else that might have transistors or diodes built in. In short, take it to a qualified mechanic.
they can be recharged by hooking jumper cables from a car to the mower or if the battery is fried you would have to buy a new battery for it Use a battery charger just like the one you use on an auto battery.
Check the abs sensors, that happenned to me and after replacing the sensors the problem was resolved. HB FRIED ABS BRAIN?!?!you brain might have been fried due to some moron putting jumper cables on backwards....... it's happens all the time!! AT
and I have since replaced the battery and found that the alt was shot.. has new alt and battery. but still cant get the injectors or fuel pump to power up... battery was put in at the side of the road in a hurry, car was turned over. it did turn over then smelt a burnning small from the pass side kicker pannel. found that the computer melted a hole in the board.. removed backwards battery. got car towed home from 3 hours away. I hope someone out there has an answer. Ive never done this in more than 50 cars ive owned
first what kind of car is it ? Alternator can't be put on backwards!
It's either been overloaded trying to charge a dead battery and fried itself, or there may be a burnt out fuse. Check connections and have the battery tested.
A Salt and Battery, Bondi Road and Autor du Monde are all popular fried fish restaurants. New York and the Bronx have many of these types of restaurants.
