wiring nightmare
I have a 1986 F150 4x4 302 v8 that I use just for plowing snow at home it isn't on the road.I did a real no no the battery went dead,I took out my battery charger and with a glance at the battery I hooked it up (someone who owned it be for me replaced the neg.battery cabel with a red cabel)I just didn't look, my fault.Well you know what happend next yes I put the charger on boost an hit the button.Not good, lots of smoke and now nothing.{You can stop laughing now}All I want is to make it run so I can plow,is there a way to do this without breaking the bank or what. Any help would be great.
Thanks,cmac22
P.S. It's ok to laugh I
only paid $300 for the truck

Look at the starter relay area. Where the battery + cable hooks to the large relay stud, there should be some smaller wires there. One of them might have a funny looking rubber thing in the wire. This is a fusible link. Make sure it isn't burnt out. If you follow this wire down, you may find some more of these fusible links in the wires. Check them all to make sure they are ok.
