Dee, if he put the battery in the wrong way round more then likley he'll have blown the alternator as well and this is why it might be dead.
And do me a favour, and ask if you need some help!
She said, do me a favour and stop flattering yourself.

could he have the power possiblly ground out?

Any fusible links and if so, have they been checked ?
he got the battery the rong way round the plank, got away with a 75 amp fuse. very lucky as he was looking at £200 4for a new alternator.
glad it got sorted dee
not as glad as he is he`s off swinging this weekend. cheers moh.
diy plonker,dont ask him to wire up a 13amp plug.
