Question ; what would happen if when changing a battery ( old battery positive ground) IF the new battery ( new battery negative ground ) was installed reversed ?? Starter would crank th same way, lights wouldn’t care , ignition coil wouldn’t work as well, any fuses wouldn’t blow, would the horn work ? Would the battery be drained by the generator ?
