Long story short I was running to the store and had my dogs in the car. I ran in and they set off my alarm and given that my battery is already in need of being replaced it died relatively quickly. I was getting a jump and the person hooked the cables up backwards so it immediately began to smoke from the cables and I ran and took them off.

Needless to say I was ____ed but I switched the cables and it started (thankfully). However I now have the VSC, ABS, Trac Off, and Brake lights lit up on my dash. I have unhooked the battery and tried to reset the computer but no dice. Car runs fine minus the lights no other issues at all.

Any ideas? I have a decent amount of things done to my car and I don't want to deal with the dealer trying to tell me something I did caused the issue if I don't have too.

Thanks!

 

I *think* I read that you can go to like Autozone or something and they will use a computer to read the codes your car is bringing up, and from there, be able to diagnose your issue a little bit better.

 

I tried the autozone route and no dice. Anyone have any other idea on what could have happened when the jumper cables were on backwards?

Like I said car is running fine.

Thanks,

Mike
