Fuse links

Stacks how true!!! That is a fact. Years back i hired a trade school kid from his senior year. You know he worked for me like 4 hours a day instead of shop in school. Well we had a range rover you know the ones that they use in AFRICA the big ones with the ladder that goes to the roof. Their are from what i understand only a hand full in this country. I told the kid to bring it in to the shop. Well after a half hour i saw the kid in a cold sweat. He explained to me the battery was dead and he jumped it with the jumper box. Well BACKWARDS. HOLY Nothing in the car worked. So this car had maxi fuses and none were BLOWN. I back fed the fuses and NOTHING.They were all good but nothing came on with the ignition. You could not even crank it. So their was a fuse panel under the radio and all the fuses were DEAD. Make a long story short he burnt out the IGNITION SWITCH. HOLY none available in the US and the dealer told me i had to actually cut the dash braces out then the steering column had to be hacked up to fix it. DOG DOOTS!!!!! I WAS OUT OF MY MIND!!! So i had JR remove the dash he actually had to cut the braces out. I managed to remove the switch part of the ignition switch and took it apart. I repaired the burnt contacts with an oil burner controller. I took the contacts and made them fit the switch. They were thinner so i slaved out the switch cranking circuits and aux and accessory contacts. After 2 weeks of modifying the thing and JR fabricating a removable dash frame the thing ran perfectly. What a NIGHT MARE. You bet STACKS reversed battery's are the pits and devastating to say the lease. I did not fire the kid . I have dun some dumb things in my life so i asked God to give me patience. And he did. I made the kid clean the shop for a week. He did it without a complaint. Yes reversed battery's SUCK BIG TIME
