      I have a 2005 Dodge Neon SXT. While working on something else, I did a stupid while I was trying to beat the dark and dropping temperatures and hooked the battery back up BACKWARDS–resulting in a lot of smoke billowing from the general neighborhood of my starter. Dashboard and dome lights still come on so, I don’t think I fried my entire electric system. I went out this morning to take another look in daylight, and found the wire that was smoking. It appears to be the ground wire attached to my starter, all the other wires look fine (though, I may take a crack at replacing my battery terminial cables when the weather gets warmer). It also appears that the piece of wire that got fried was spliced onto another wire (which appears to be a heavier gauge) that is bundled in with a bunch of other wires.

      My question being, would it do me any good to try to splice on a new bit of wire to replace the damaged wire that attaches to my starter? The wire to which the damaged piece seems to be okay. Basically looking for a mid-term solution to get me thorough winter–If I have to replace that entire length of wire, I’d rather wait until the temperatures rise above freezing, yanno?

      Thank you so much!
