Speedo rev gauge and rear lights dont work????
Speedo rev gauge and rear lights dont work????
hello i bought a new battery and the positive and negative terminals where the other way around, me being stupid and tired accidently connected the negative clamp to the positive terminal and positive to the negative, a few sparks flew then i realised what i had stupidly done, i reconnected the clamps to the correct terminals then started the car, the speedo rev gauge and rear lights are now not working, i believe that i may have to replace the "metering" fuse or some thing but im not quiet sure where it is or what fuses i need to replace because i went through the fuse board below the steering column and none of the coloured fuses where blown. i own an 87 fc so any help would be awesome thank you

You'll find the fuse box diagram in the FAQ.
The meter fuse would be my first stop as well.
Also check all the fuses in the engine bay.
Be aware that you very well might have fried many of the electrical devices in the car.
