Where is the fuse on a JAP battery?
Some newer Jap cars (and probably others) have fuses on the battery ‘terminal’. It bolts onto the battery positive clamp and distributes power to two or more seperately fused cables. Easily missed if you haven’t come across them before.
What happens if you jump battery the wrong way?
Merc and the likes are common for blowing ecu by jumping them the wrong way. Not worked on that car so not sure but can cause damage etc. Best take it to the dealer or good indy who is good with this sort of thing. I’d be looking in the fuse box at the big fat ones as a start.
What happens when you hook up a car battery backwards?
When they put installed the battery, they hooked it up backwards and blew the main fuse. When the main fuse was replaced and I was driving off I noticed that the charging light was on, and the radio/clock was not working. Taking it back, they confirmed that the alternator was dead and replaced it (with me paying for it).
How does a red jumper cable work on a dead battery?
One end of the red (positive) jumper cable connects to the positive terminal of the dead battery. The other end of the red cable connects to the positive terminal of the good battery. One end of the black (negative) jumper cable connects to the negative battery terminal of the good battery.
What happens when jumper cables are reversed on a battery?
Damage to the Batteries. Connecting the positive terminal of each battery to the negative terminal of the other battery will result in a huge surge of electrical current between the two batteries.

What happens if a car battery is left running?
Other Possible Damage The surge of electrical current can blow the fusible link or fuse element that protects the vehicle’s main electrical system. If the engine of the vehicle with the charged battery is left running, the electrical surge can damage this vehicle’s alternator.
Why is my car cranking so long after I disconnected the battery?
With regard to the longer cranking times, it’s probably a result of the battery power being removed from the ECM and so it lost all of the memory stores for operating parameters. It has to re-learn over time and use to custom tailor the controls to the engine condition.
