My gf's car died b.c she left her lights on. Her MORON boss tried to jump it but got the + - wrong. She said her car smoked and her horn went ape shit. I went to go pick her up after work and tried jumping it again. It seems her car battery has some juice left. It doesn't even click when you turn it on, no lights turn on.

Where do I start looking to diagnose the problem?

Thanks

hopefully it just damaged the battery, but it could've also damaged a number of things down the line (relays, fuses, ecu-yikes!). try changing w/ a known good batt first.

or simply looking at the fuse.

yes, but if the batt was connected backward and was smoking the batt is still damaged as well and is going to have problems down the road if not now. i've seen batt that this has been done to explode and i wouldn't risk it.

Thanks everyone, it was the 100a fuse. There are minor things not working like radio auto window roller. At least its drivable now

Thats what I told her, if she doesn't do it I will. She was worried it would change there relationship at work, especially with the economy the way it is. Luckily it was a $2 fix.

those other things not working probably blew fuses too.

i don't think it's necessary to slap him in the face for at least attempting to help.

roll window down and up all the way a couple of times, pull and push two clicks. that should reprogram your switch for express up and down
