Outer Limits 4x4 Board

did any of the early petrol patrols 89 model, come out with a positive earth?, mate rang me up wantin to change the battery and he was a bit wary of it. no its not duel battery up front, hes got another hooked up in the rear for fridge etc.

Record battery code.

Mark leads (if not already marked by a red an black cable). If in doubt take a digital photo.

Ask salesperson at battery place for new battery.

Connect terminals up same way on new battery.

Jeepers. I am almost certain there are no +ve earth GQ patrols, but I think he'd better check carefully himself.

found the prob, the previous owner hooked up the battery the wrong way, causing a bit of a melt down, in the process he flattened the battery, and replaced most of the wiring, so he still hooked up the battery the wrong way after he redid the wiring. so in turn when he charged the battery back up with the leads the wrong way around it can change the polarity of the battery, this is why the old battery only lasted a year. so when the new battery was installed the correct way it started no probs except for a shagged alternator.

Jesus, what a leper!

wierdest question ive ever heard.... nah they are all Negative earth

I think the bloody poms were the only whacko's to + earth stuff. Maybe there's ya answer, was the previous owner a pom?

I wonder why battery terminals, round ones anyhow, are different sizes, and different colours?
