Jeep is frying batteries...help!
ok so i was changing the plugs out and the ratchet hit the +pos side of the battery lead. i went to start it up and nothing at all worked. checked every fuse and relay and nothing was fried. put my spare battery in and started right up. so i went later to go drop off the other battery at the autoparts store and it wouldnt sart up. so i popped the hood and tried again and i saw an arc come from the +pos side of the lead and itstill didnt start. nothing works now and im bck at square one. what should i do
