Wiring help needed - D17 IV Generator

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Installed a new generator on the D17 tonight, along with a new battery cable.  Positive ground, newer charged battery.  I attached the wires to the generator, attached the battery cable, then with a jumper wire touched the gen terminal to the battery post to polarize it.  The generator started to smoke so I quickly unhooked it.  What have I done wrong here...?
