My girlfirend and I were sitting in my car, for like two hours with just the fans on (the key was in the "on" position so the engine couldn't turn the alternator) Needless to say, my battery was drained. My friend in his Honda Civic SI jumped my car, but his Honda battery didn't have the terminals labeled (or so he said) So I had my cables hooked up right but I had the negative cable unhooked until he had both on. When I touched the cable to the terminal, a big theatrical spark came out. I thought that the battery was that drained because the terminal sparks sometimes when it's really low. I did it again, I got zapped, then finally I told that retard to switch the poles. I was driving today and all of a sudden my check engine light went off. My tachometer was working and eveything. Could this be a remedy or the calm before the storm?

 

and you're 17?
Just sitting? HA!
I would have been just fooking.

calm before the storm

 

Do I really need to get into detail? Think why we had the fans on for two hours.

 

you farted?

wait

SHE farted!

 

lolz, yes we both "farted" for two hours. Whatever you want to call it.
Seriously though, what's the worst case senerio?

 

I miss farting for two hours in the back seat.

I was so much more fun when it's something you're not supposed to be doing.

 

oh yeah, worst case senario is herpes and pregnancy in one shot.

The car?
cars don't get herpes

but the ECU may be toasted

 

Seriously though. The ECU?!? How do I check that? Just reset it?

 

lol haaaaaaahhhhaaa i cant stop laughing

 

thats the worst case scenario.....but if it was completely toasted your car wouldnt work at all....just run the codes and see whats wrong.

 

There's no check engine light though. Could it be a possibility that, that little jolt helped?

 

I'd say your lucky.........or were lucky =-o

If it runs fine, you should be in the clear

 

The Tach broke again, I don't really need it though. That has nothing to do with it though. If anything happens I'm calling my friend over to bring the "Crash Cart." Thanks guys.

 

Even without markings on the battery, it is easy to tell which terminal is positive and which is negative. Your friend wasn't the only retard.

 

I wasn't looking under his hood. I was concerned If I put my stuff on right. Hater.

 

If he told you before connecting the cables that he didn't know which terminal was which and you still didn't check his handiwork, then your bad. If he didn't say anything until after the shock, then don't let your friend touch your car again! Car batteries are dangerous...haha

 

I asked him after the first shock.

 

Aha! So after your first shock, he told you he didn't know which terminal was which, and you still tried hooking up the jumper cable without checking his handiwork, thus the second shock. The facts speak for themselves...=)

 

Is like a case of "Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?" Cuz I got the cookies if you know what I'm sayin'

 

+ a burned ecu and herpes!

 

lolz. Very mature guys. If you'll excuse me I have to put my retainer in and take my Claritin. lolz

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Getting back to the topic, just reset the ECU to see if there is a problem?

 

no cel and driving fine=leave it the hell alone....lol

 

i didnt have a battery once and pluged a battery charger into an extention cord and turned it on high then hooked up the cables to the cooresponding terminals that are supposed to go on the battery lol tried to start it and everything went all crazy and the beeping when you do the key was super high pitched and i had a super tach it was going back and forth to redline it was sweet. this was not on my current car dont worry but still fun none the less and absolutly no problems after that

 

I used to just crack my windows.

Then again we used to fart in the car every night. Getting stuck every night would get pretty old.


Even with the gas prices, it would have beed cheaper to run the engine & the ac than what you may end up fixing. Or even better, a cheap sleezy motel. Get one with a kichenette and ESPN. You can watch Sports Center and get her to make you a sandwich afterwards.

 

and when you have REAL company

 

if the car is running fine now then dont worry. Its not very smart to hook up battery terminals wrong...2 times...maybe you should have other people work on your car...haha

 

I like the "big theatrical spark" comment....

 

i dont think you can get shocked from a car battery. the battery is only 12v and are body can resist 24v? i think im not positively sure but i have touched both terminals at the same time and didnt feel squat.

 

And what did you touch both terminals with?

 

2 of my fingers?

 

Try this...bridge both terminals with a piece of metal while the battery is connected, then come back and tell us how you feel....

 

i may be dumb but im not that stupid.

 

I've seen this before on our cars, worst case senerio is that you would blow the big fuse in 140amp? inside the engine on the driver side. That fuse protects the ecu from morons.

 

If it works, don't #@$% with it. Also it is best not to fart with the power on and the engine off.

Mental deficiencies are contagious. Don't play with electricity.

 

shoulda left the car on w/ the ac running O_O

 

My point is, why would you think you'd get shocked if you touched the battery terminals with your fingers? I'm not understanding......

 

Not true. It is actually current that kills you. If you wire it straight to your heart, a AA battery could kill you.

 

Soooo...why is the title of this thread Defibrillators? It should be named 101 things that can go wrong when your girlfriend has gas.
