I screwed up big time....

...and it was very easy to do.


I was putting my battery back in my bike today- and above the battery is where I have the power commander and autotune as well as a USB from the PCV to the side of the frame and a Battery tender charge cable- so both are accessible from the side of the bike to plug in so I do not need to remove the seat every time I want to read/write autotune files or plug the charger into the bike.

Reason I am telling you that- is I have a lot of cables in the area where the battery goes. The Battery Tender cable is black and the positive end has a red part right at the O-ring connector.








I have the autotune hooked positive into my switched tail light- and used the included O-ring connector that came with the autotune kit to connect the negative to the battery.





Notice the included O-ring has a red end.

Unfortunately today when putting my battery back in the bike- I grabbed the black cable with red end that is the Battery Tender wire- AND the black cable with red end to the auto tune box and put them on my + battery terminal- not realizing my mistake, so I put + to the negative of the autotune box.

As I was tightening the screw- I heard sizzling and then see / smell smoke. Arrgh!

I figured I fried the autotune box- so I uninstalled it- then plugged the PCV into my computer and turned off the autotune option. But the bike won't start, won't even fire a put put- just cranks.

SO- I disconnected the PCV harness and tried again- still won't start.

Could this have fried my ECU? The PCV shows no errors on the software- but the case has a smell. I'm not sure if I should try to pry open the Autotune and PCV to check for burn marks.
