Ok,,, I kind of did something really stupid. But it really was not my fault but I won't go into it. But if someone can help me out I would really appreciate it.

I was jump starting my wifes 93 Cavalier from my Accord. The jumper cables were "accidentally" attached criss cross for about 10 seconds. That is,, Accord + to Cavalier - etc. Well,,, the Cavalier does not want to do anything now. Totally fried. Lights but no action from starter.

So,,,, does anyone have an idea where to start looking on the Cavalier?? Are there some diodes on the alternator that may have been fried?? The battery did not blow up or anything so I assume that its still OK.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

check all of the fuses, on both cars.

 

Reset ECU, as well as the ^fuses^

 

fuses, thats what they are there for.

 

Fuses.

 

you won't like this, but the cavalier deserved it!

 

lol

 

Check tosee ifiyou fried your fusible link. There is usualy a fuse near the posative battery terminal or in the fusebox under the hood. Look for a fuse with a large amp rating, usually 80 AMPS or higher

 

Also check for a fuseable link at the starter. Seen that on some older GM products. If the key was on, you could have fried the ECM on the Crapalier. Good luck.

 

You notice that "accidentally" was in quotes. I think it was a Freudian slip.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions people.

Will dig in this weekend.

PS: I am looking over the RSX type s for a new car next year. The tension is building. Then I can take the Accord and use it as a winter car.
