another newbie with a problem

[liljohn_92]

Hi everyone I found this forum the other week when i started researching patrols, I found a wealth of information and this forum helped me immensely in deciding on a patrol.

I picked up a 94 gq ute today and I'm about to start cleaning it up a bit.
But i did possibly the stupidest thing I've ever done this morning, I put the battery in backwards and hit the key(been smashing my head against a brick wall all day for being such a dumbass) I realized within 20 seconds and swapped it round to how it should be and now it continuously blows the engine control fuse every time the keys turned to on(sometimes takes about 3 seconds to pop otherwise instantly)and just clicks up in the relay box on drivers inner fender...

I noticed that there was a starter solenoid inside this panel and tried the old trick of shorting it out and it does nothing... I'm away from the vehicle for the next few days so I'm just trying to gather information on where to start or if someone knows what i killed even better.

Sorry if i shouldn't have put this in here...

Thanks in advance for any help and ill see ya'll round the forums.

Cheers Mark

Welcome to the forum mate and congrats on the new beast.

yeah you might not get a good response here so probably copy the post and start a new one under Auto Electrical and you should get a better response, good luck with it!
