Hello all,
I have a friend that ran into a little problem with her 96 Ford Ranger yesterday. The battery was dead due to her leaving something on in the truck. She and her friend tried to jump start the truck; when she put jumper cables on, she crossed them hot on ground and visa versa. Yep, a dumb ass thing to do. when they hooked up to the other car battery, they let the smoke out of it so to speak. They then placed the cables on right, and when she tried to start the Ranger, ALL power was gone with the wind. I mean NO electrical power what so ever on the truck. The battery is still good, but no power. They came to me, but since I’m in school all of my tools are there i.e. multimeter and power probe. I told her there is no way I could tell with out the right tools, but I thought a resistor, fuse or relay had been blown or maybe the ECU. The local shop wants $1,000 to fix the problem, but didn’t pinpoint the problem for her. Off the top of your heads, what do you think it may be?
