Red face Laugh at my stupidity

Ok

So I have to move me EA into the driveway but the batterys flat
get out the tools and swapped with mums EB battery

Im sittin there screwin the terminals in and its makin little sparks but im thinkin.. must be normal

I was NOT paying the slightest attention to the BIG red and Blue .. Pos and Neg symbols lol

So the wires are odviously heating up the whole time im screwing this in and justtt as I finish getting the screw on BOOM

Smoke going everywhere and a small electrical fire starts

LOL

I instantly shat my pants and ran off in fear of an explosion (hahaha)

I had to run back while the fire was goin and desperately try to undo the terminals and .. ahh .. blew out the fire and releif

Poor poor car

Good news is i whipped out the box of crimp connectors and grabbed some scissors..

car started wen i flipped battery around and all electrics were as they should be :the_finge
