Electrical problem
1991 Chevy S-10 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 140k miles
Went to hook up an old battery that i had on a trickle charge for the past week. connected + cable, then i connected the - cable. The +cable that leads from the battery to the alternator started smoking and glowing red. i quickly disconnected the battery, but the damage was done. What did I do wrong? I did not accidentally switch the cables, as they don't reach the terminals
