If you where to put jump leads on a car te wrong way round what damage will it do 2 ur car?
Answers:
When you connect the jump leads connect the red ones to the + terminal first (one on each battery) then connect the black ones carefully to the the - terminals on the battery. When you remove it, reverse the order, black first, red second. Only do one colour at a time.
If you cross them then the chances are the battery cells may explode leaving you at best severly shocked and your car severly knackered.
BAAAAAAANG!!!!!!!!.
and melt the jump leads, burnout the alternator, and melt or warp the battery innards.
and burn your fingers
It could do damage to you, or at least your hairstyle.
Lots of sparks and eventually the leads will catch fire damaging the batteries and probably the whole electrical systems,
One of the batteries would blow, and main fuses would blow.
If both ends are put on wrong then you are fine..If only one end is put on wrong you would know it right away.I have heard of people charging batteries in reverse and that actually changes the polarity of the ends.
You'll not be worrying about the car even if you do mix them around, 'cus you'll have blown yourself up!
Don't do - ring a motoring organisation.
stuffed battery & electrical system
Firstly u'll get a bloody big spark from the jump leads/battery. The worst outcome is that u'll completely destroy the battery you're attempting to revive.
u can cause some electrial probs usally just blown fuses it can cause the battry to explode if left on long enough
No there is no problem for the car but you can burn your fingers because the car will reject the leads with some sparkles
Assuming it was computerized, you'd blow the computers, (and wouldn't do your battery a heck of a lot of good, either) because you're basically giving the car a massive short-circuit. But if you were lucky, the fusible link in the car's wiring harness would break, preventing any substantial damage. Even the fusible link breaking probably wouldn't save your alternator, starter or fuse box.
In earlier cars, jumping the battery the wrong way can fry the wiring harness.
The most common damage is to ruin one or both batteries. Beyond that, it will depend on the year of the vehicles. Older vehicles are less susceptible to electronic damage. Newer vehicles could have module damage throughout the vehicle including charging system.
You would blow the fusible link, if there is one. You would also possibly burnout the electronics on the alternator.
Actually Rachel probably nothing would happen as soon as you connect the last connection you will get lots of sparks and if you ignore them and put it on anyway you won't be able to start the car. You know what you shouldn't do especially with newer cars is having the good car running when you jump. You don't need to have the car running because if you do when you attempt to start the dead car it will pull a lot of juice from the electrical of the running car if the car is not running it just pulls juice from the battery and so if you cross them up it won't cause much damage.
It would not damage the car per se, but the jump leads would melt. Potentially, it would do more damage to you.
fry your battery or even catch fire
great idea i am bored i am off to find out the hard way will post when i get out of hospital and tell you all about it.
Can cause damage to both cars.including the on-board computers
kill ure battery and eingen management system
Prob blow a bunch of fuse and create some sparks
My husband did this on my 94 Mustang, the sparks gave him the clue something wasn't right. All the fuses blew.
You'd fry both the batteries, the leads and not to mention anyone stood too close.Battery burns hurt and take months to go
