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.
Oh also i need to try fix this without my brother finding out cause he will spit the dummy as dad was a mechanical engineer and I've been round engines since i can remember(laugh if he sees this)
Thanks in advance for any help and ill see ya'll round the forums.
Cheers Mark
