…decided to plug my battery in in the dark…and reversed hooked the terminals. :noes: Luckily it only went on for like 5 sec (and my ECU and ignitor weren’t hooked up) but it did its damage. Blew the alternator fuse. (The grey fuse in the main fuse tray near battery up front - for those that don’t know) :pat: Will CT have these or is it a Nissan only part? What a bitch too considering yesterday went great (got my car back from the shop - much thanks to Varun :bowdown: ). ---

Dang, I did that once on my friend’s mazda, when I took off his battery to put it in my 240 when I changed the starter (my battery was dead). When I put it back on his car it was dark and i put it on the wrong way, the short in the main fuse was so intense the fuse welded itself to the damn slot. I couldn’t take it out, I shoved a screw in the fuse and he went to a garage the next day, he got charged 50$ to replace that fuse… lol ---

$50? :noes: He took it to a shop to replace a fuse? :wtf: My fuse just cracked (the wire inside)…I didn’t leave it on too long or run any acccessories (other then the door being open which activated the cockpit lights)… ---

i’ve done it before too man. Same shit…alt fuse. I grabed one off a parts car. The car will still fire but interior lights for some reason will be bugy since I think that fuse is used for other things as well. Andrew. ---

I vote you can get fusable links or just regular fuses that will suit your needs at CT. You could find get a circuit braker in case you want to hook up batteries in the dark more often and get tired of replacing fuses. ---
