I made that mistake once - do as suggested about and see if you getting power at busbar, key and starter, if not then trace it back. Hopefully a blown fuse. Good luck

I think that model had a fuse link on the smaller pos wire near the battery. Check to see if you are getting power at both side of the battery wires.

Big bonehead move......I hooked one of my batteries up backwards. When I tried to turn the perko switch, it froze/welded shut. I think the switch by the drivers seat was set to all on too.... The other battery was hooked up correctly. Once I realized what I had done, I quickly removed all connections.
I removed the perko and tried hooking up a good battery (both the ones during the mess-up, won't hold a charge). The hour meter reads O and it won't turn over. I have checked the three fuses by the red 60 and relays. I am attaching a picture of the two relays that tick/click when I push the start button. 2004 Santa 210 330 pcm Sorry if this doesn't make sense....I'm spazzed and pissed that I did this. |
