i was just installing my dual battery in my diesel patrol,

i tapped for ignition into the wiper motor for my solenoid,
i earthed out the solenoid,
i ran from the power of batt no 1 to the solenoid,

go to earth the batt no 2 and kaboom sparks larger than new years fly everywhere,this is with all ignition off
