guys i own a 97 z28 (lt1 duh) a while back my battery went dead in the winter when i was out of town for work, so i called one of my buddys to come jump my car off he comes over and i hook up my car he hooks up his, i try to start the car and nothing, come to find out my vehicle-retarted buddy decided to hook his side up backwards, well after reverseing the hookup the car cranked fine but the odometer now simply lights up and doesnt show any numbers, the radio lights up but wont work, the trunk release button wont work...im not incredibly knowledgeable about the workings of modern harnesses and the like, i thought maybe he has fried a ground but i cant fine one, all fuses are fine i duno about the relays i dont know how to check them but i need to get this issue fixed, please gemmie any ideas u guys have, Thanks

 

Wow...Yea check fuses first. But worst case is you fried your computer or wireing harness.

 

Yup I believe it's the fuse box inside the car on the drivers side facing the door. It's the accessries fuse, or something like that.

yeh believe it or not it was a fuse wire in the box that got cooked replaced it, funny it didnt blow the fuse, thanks for the help tho guys

 

Whew, you got lucky!

 

yeh i dont understand wtf was up with the fuse i mean haveing a fuse that wont blow kinda defeats the purpose...

 

I'd invest in a Booster Pack and jump start my own car next time
