Did something stupid today while in a hurry. I got the car out of storage and had to jump start it. I drove it to lunch for half an hour thinking that would be enough to charge it, but then it wouldn't start again. I didn't have cables with me, but I did have the battery to my 04 Cobra in the trunk. I was in a rush to get back to work for meetings so I quickly swapped the batteries not realizing the + and - poles were on different sides for the batteries. So I ended up hooking it up wrong for a few seconds until I realized my mistake. I hooked it up the correct way and drove back to work.
I think it may have messed up a couple things.
1. My IAT2 temps were sky high at like 150 degrees all the time. I assume the heat exchanger pump stopped working. I verified that the fuse is ok.
2. The radio says Audio off and I can't get any sound out of it even playing songs on car play. I unplugged the battery and plugged it back and and then reset the sync 3 system, but i didn't fix it.
3. The power steering seems to be acting weird while the car is parked or maneuvering in a parking lot at slow speeds. Its almost like the power steering isnt working all the time.
