Jump start Honda hybrid wrong terminals

[blowfelt]

I put the wrong jump leads on the wrong terminals by mistake on a Honda hybrid insight auto.What damage could I have caused bc there is no lights on the dash.

I don't know much about Honda's but you could of blown up the battery & or there might be a main fuse somewhere.

Probably just a safety feature, as iangsi said, See if you can find a blown fuse somewhere. Also swap out the current battery for another battery to see if that works.

I checked a 50amp fuse,but it was alright.

The Battery was low to start with,this is why we had to jump start the car.

Thanks.

Sorted.

It was a hidden fuse that had blow and it needed a new battery.

Cheers lads.

I thought about a duff battery after I posted earlier seeing as you had to try & jump start it, modern electronics need a minimum voltage to work less than 9 or 10 volts & nothing I think.

Cool, glad you got it sorted. I didn't know what else to suggest other than a Ctrl + Alt + Delete reset lol.

I hooked up my LS round the wrong way at Vauxfest 2018, very embarrassing as I was in front of a crowd of people at the time.
Not completely my fault however as a fellow enthusiast came up to me while I was hooking it up and convinced me that I had the terminals round the wrong way when the were not.

Lots of sparks but no damage done to either car.
