Why does my Jeep not turn over when I crank the ignition?
We swapped out the fuse for the starter in the fuse box and it turned over only when we cranked the keys in the ignition. Check your fuses first, and if the Jeep still isn’t turning over after replacing them, then start troubleshooting other damage from there.
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).
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.
