Ok, spent all day putting the SHO back together.
Fired it up at the end of the night and all went well. It started and ran. Alternator is not charging....HMM.....turned off car and cleaned terminals.

Car is dead, no juice, went to jump the car....I put the jumper cables on backwards. The 89 SHO i think is fried...im not sure.

I turn the key, the fuel pump runs, no crank....I turn the interior lights on and it just burns a fuse.....any ideas?

I am thinking the starter solenoid. And i dont know what to do about the interior light fuse burning all the time.

How bad is connecting juper cables backwards for a matter of moment before realizing how much of an idiot i am?

check out the main fuses for the engine and computer...it should **** those and then the rest of the circuit should be fine.
