'87 Cutlass Big Time Short Out! Need Help!eric-aqua 04-30-2005, 10:50 AM I have an '87 Cut Supreme with hydraulics and I accidentaly grounded 36amps from the hydraulics batteries to the car and it seemed to have shorted out out something becuase none of the car's electronics will come on. None of the fuses in the panel are blown, I check the one fusible link I could see coming off of the alternator and it's good, not sure if there is another somewhere that may be blown (...know of any others??). When ya bypass the wires from the battery to the starter with a set of jumper cables connected to the baterry and teh terminal on teh starter the car will start. I replaced the one wire from the battery to the starter but it still doesnt work. Have no clue why it is wont work? Any suggestions? I have a manual if you could suggest any diagrams I should look at.
