    Ok so i got me a new air compressor and now my truck was working fine, i was sitting waiting to get loaded in el paso and after about two hours i decided to be productive and install my inverter, i went to connect the positive to the batteries, and i noticed one outta the 4 posts had grip like it was made to come off by hand. There was three small wires connected to it like accesories with fuses, when i went to unscew the nut, the truck turned of, i freaked and put everything back together, i went to turn on the truck and nothing, the starter would go but it wouldnt turn on, so i started checking fuses, it just made things worst, now it dont turn over and my ultra shift console wont light up no more, what did i do??

    disconnect the battaries and weit, then connect. if doesn't work. have batteries connected press n on autoshift and and pull keys out and weit and then try to start. I think theres no more fuses besides on dash under cb.

    CK. those small wires that went to batt. you will have pos. and neg. they will have small push in fuse inside a pod that holds fuse controling trans and eng. power that is inside batt. box , put wires back on batt. like the were before, then it will run for you.
