I wish he would have paused, taken a breath and walked away after the first sign of trouble.

Sometimes we are our own worst enemy and when frustration and confusion sets in, issues are compounded 10 fold.

Tree fiddy...gots to get few more benny's...😎
yup..gunna have him test batteries, rewire them 2 cooked wires and unplug everything off alternator. Then, making sure batteries are good and CORRECTLY hooked up, have him just turn key to "on"...see if there's gauges, dash lights...etc...then go from there

That is a solid plan Timmy. If he gets a WTS light and can run a buzz test, he will be on a road to success.

I hate to say it but it took your friend turning the ignition key before he figured out he connected his batteries bass ackwards, and then still connected the batteries (the right way around) after smelling burned wires. This is going to take awhile.

@timmyboy76 , based on your comments in the "7.3L down" thread it looks like you will NOT be in Meridian ID?

We made it just west of Omaha NE today and should be in WY tomorrow.
