Wtf did I damage now?

[Quartney]

OK so in the process of being impatient with waiting for people to help me wire my hellas, i decided to do it myself...even though i have no idea what im doing. step 1 disconnect battery...ok.....

well in the process sparks flew and shit and now some thing is halfway burned through and i dont even know wtf it is



you can see at the bottom of it on the left side it has a little nic in it...wtf did i do? :-\

That looks like a ground wire. Did a wrench or something hit the battery after you took the battery cable off?

[Quartney]

battery cable didnt even get off...but yeah basically....everything is still attached....what do i do to fix??? well....what do i purchase and then bribe someone to fix since apparently im jinxed

[Bigbike]

Does your Jeep still start and run?

[Quartney]

didnt try yet...i basically said ok im done and walked away hahahahaha ill go give it a shot

[Quartney]

yup it does

[Bigbike]

ok, your probably ok then.

[SupermanIce-J]

ground strap... easy fix....

And It will work fine like that... but i would still get a new one

[Quartney]

ok...whew...thanks guys im done being technical on my own rofl

[DrThunder]

Courtney, quick tip. When disconnecting the positive on the batter (red), do no let the wrench hit anything metal on the jeep. Instead just disconnect the black wire and set it aside from now on. If you touch the black terminal to anything on the jeeps body no explosions will occur. Don't be discouraged, get out there and git-er-done!

thanks corey i definately gave myself a minature heart attack this morning hahahaha

Another tip from my book:

If you work on a Jeep and dont light anything on fire, you must be doing something wrong.
