Let's Play...What Did I Fry?
The Setting: My Backyard.
When: Friday Morning
Time: 3AM
So a buddy and I are pulling parts out of a parts car I just bought and have been doing so for several hours. The previous day I had closed my seatbelt in my 'vert (der) and killed the battery so he brought a new one over.
After a few hours of work I decide it is time to put the battery in. I don't notice that his terminals are reversed from mine. So I briefly attached the juice backwards...oops.
I saw a small spark below the UIM and the Alternator and first thought was...crap...alternator is fried. However...everything seemed to be working except my interior lights on my doors. Replaced a fuse, those were fine.
I then went to flip my headlights up...no go. The lights come on but the headlights themselves will not raise mechanically...any suggestions as to what I might have fried or where? I thumped the relay I thought might be stuck but no good. =(
Thanks!
