What happens when a battery is connected in reverse polarity?
Normally a fuse does not blow when faced with reverse polarity as its merely a fuse. What manufactures have done as a fail safe is add a diode parallel to the circuit such that its shorts to ground and blows the main fuse when the battery is connected in reverse polarity, in turn saving the more sensitive electricals.
Where is the 120 amp fuse on my car?
