Question is...can a new battery be installed with cables on backwards?
+ to- and - to + without any harm to the vehicles electronic components?
Checker Auto did this to me. Anybody have any similar experiences?
Thanks, Rod.
I've done it myself in the past.
It didn't hurt anything but some of the electronics inside the car didn't work until I switched the cables back to the right connections.
Yah, it shouldn't kill anything, but diodes will stop the flow of electricity.
Yes, it's very bad...can tear stuff all to heck...any electronics.
