Hit battery with wrench while connected

[HISSIN50]

I think the battery plates can get better acquainted if the wrench is allowed to remain between the terminals too long.

Hey guys, it was something really easy. We used a meter and the postive wasn't sending out any voltage. So we unhooked the postive terminal and cleaned it. IT WORKED!!! We put it back on and had power to the whole car again. Some how the conductivity was taken away, maybe it made it a bit corroded? Anyway it is fixed! Thanks guys!

Nice job. I've had it come back and bite me before when I skipped the easy stuff figuring it wouldn't be the cause of a problem. Congrats on not making the same mistake.

grounding a positive wire creates a dead short. does the ignition have a fuse/relay? i'd start by checking the fuses and then the fusable link wire.

it has to be either one of those. check your fuel pump reset switch, maybe it triggered it?

Glad it was a quick fix. As they say "no harm no foul"


Haha top of the world, first post on page two.

Kind of reminds me of highschool ... I would buy the cliff notes to a book so I wouldn't have to read the whole thing but it soon became overwhelmingly obvious to my teachers that the only thing I read was the cover.
