89 5.0 LX
Sounds like I'm the idiot of the century, however I bought the car with a battery box in the trunk and the cables are not marked (they are now!). Anyway I just hooked the cables up backwards, smoked a 10 gauge wire off the solenoid which connects to a fusable link. Everything seems to work fine except the car will not start. I plan on replacing the burnt wire and the fusable link tommorow. Hopefully that will fix it.
What else may I have done? Help!
Thanks in advance.
