Hello folks at world,
A sort of friend of mine found his battery was flat in his.......now
wait for it......Saab! But this is an electrical question not a
Saab/MG/Brit car question.
He charged the battery and replaced with a resultant huge cloud of
smoke and burning smell. The lead between the alternator and chassis
was toast (it may have been the starter - he is not too
observant!). Someone said it was because he reversed the polarity
(hmmmm!) but the shop said the battery plates had collapsed and
shorted out. To me neither sounds right. Anybody got an insightful
suggestion
Regards
Barrie
