P700 Electrical problem

[Jonesd4]

I have a major problem!! My live positive battery cable touched the frame and sparks flew and now it gets no power at all. I have checked all fuses and the main 40amp fuse and all are not blown. Does anyone have any suggestions on what’s next?? Please help.

maybe you shorted out your battery and it needs replacing. Take it to the parts house and have it checked.

Follow the voltage, where are you losing battery voltage.

I’m kinda new at this but how do I follow the voltage and what tool do I need?

Curious, how did you check them? Visual inspection ? Plug in a different one ? Continuity Meter ? At times they can look OK.

You need one of these. I've had a trolling motor battery in my boat reverse its polarity before. I had never heard of that and I couldn't figure out what was going on. Took it to a parts store to get tested and that's what they told me. I guess the positive cable had touched something metal to make it do that.

I looked at all the fuses. I plugged the 40 amp in, I had an extra in the fuse box.
