I wanted to take my 91 out today and clean it up a bit, but the battery was a little low.  I pulled my Silverado over and hooked up jumper cables.  By mistake I reversed the connections on the Vette battery.  I realized this within a matter off seconds, but too late for the Vette.  The truck is fine but the vette is electrically dead which leads me to believe a burned a fusible link somewhere.  I had some smoke and oder on the drivers side of the interior.  Has anyone made the same stupid mistake or know where to look for the problem?  Thanks  

test light....   test light...

you need to get a wiring diagram...   there are fuseable links  stashed all over the place...   remove the alternator and have it tested.. before you try to hook the battery back up....  sometimes the diodes take a big hit and short out...

autozone has free wiring diagrams on their web site...

alldatadiy.com also has them...  as does eautorepair.net... but there is a subscription fee...

test the fuseable links at both ends...  if you only have power at one end... you have found the possible burned link... be sure that you replace it with the exact size that came out... or 4 wire sizes numbers than the circuit you are attaching it to...

so a 14 gauge wire gets an 18 gauge fuseable link...

as for the smoke inside the car.......     you might try to see if you can examine the wiring to the ign switch...  if the key was one... it might have tried to burn also...

hope this helps....  

Easy Fix!  Remove the battery.  Behind it and against the firewall there is a main power terminal with approximately 8 fusible links feeidng out of it.  Locate the burned out wire and replace it.  You will most likely need to make your own replacement using thermal connectors and the proper gauge wire.  Cost - under $15.00
