| Description of the problem | Leads to battery were colored wrong. The positive lead was painted black and the negative lead was painted red. When i jump-started the car i put the battery cables to the associated colors. It was connected for about 1 minute when i noticed something smoking. After i found out what the problem was i corrected the connection and started the car. The car would only idle due to a blown fuse, which the car dealership had to find. |
