My brother is a retard. HE knows NOTHING about cars.
He has a celica st162 celica, it used to be mine. The battery has been moved to the boot to accommodate an air intake.
So my brother has had some trouble with it lately and took it apon himself to replace the battery. BIG MISTAKE. He put the positive cable on the negative terminal and the negative cable on the positive terminal. This caused a fire in the engine bay where the original positive cable has been diverted to the boot.
I haven't had a chance to see how much has been damaged in the little blaze. But it has destroyed the plastic box part of the original positive cable and maybe even the engine loom. It also destroyed the radiator return hose.
How much damage would have been done to the electrical system because of the terminal swap?
