backwards jumper cables
My son has a 98 ram I belive he hooked the jumper cables up backwards
while trying to jump start it ,we did get it stated and replaced several
fuses,only 2 problems left battery does not seem to charge (put new battery in after cables hooked backwards) I assume the alt. is fried
and will have to be replaced (not to tuff).But the other ploblem is the 25amp fuse for the wipers keeps blowing as soon as I turn the key foward
with the wiper multiswitch turned off.Could this be a fried multiswitch or
somthing with the ignition switch or wiper motor.The truck starts and runs fine turn singnals and high and low beams work so I don't know if it could be the multi switch.Any help would be very much apperciated!!!
Thanks

Black - GROUND (ie. an engine bolt, chassis, etc) NEVER DIRECTLY CONNECT THE BATTERIES
People also believe this notion that cables are to be connected Positive to Negative, Negative to Positive. Again, THIS IS INCORRECT.

First of all, jumper cables have to be connected properly:
