Re: jumper cables connected backwards
Whose battery needed boosting ... if it was yours, I'm guessing the effect
would be the same as connecting your battery backwards ... instant bye bye
diodes. But if it was the other guys, then I'm guessing the effect would be
something like shorting out your battery ... which should not cause any
damage ... unless your vehicle was running in which case I'm thinking the
alternator would suffer. But why the starter solenoid ... I dunno ... it
should not even be in the circuit, should it?

Re: jumper cables connected backwards
The jeep was running and I was boosting a diesel tractor. I hooked it up
wrong on the jeep side.
After I started the jeep as I said in my original post it kept running for
15-20 minutes until I shut it down. When I tried to restart, it did nothing
at all. Wouldn't the alternator have to be working for the jeep to run? The
battery wouldn't supply enough pwer for 15 minutes would it?

Re: jumper cables connected backwards
A battery in decent condition could easily keep an engine running for more than
20 minutes.
