I left my lights and the battery died. A friend of mine offered to jump start my car for me but I think when he hooked up the cables to his battery he reversed the polarities. The cables got very hot and the alternator smoked a little. Being 6 mo. pregnant I don't feel like fixing it my self so I brought it to a mechanic who I do not trust. He is suggesting that the computer is shot and needs to be replaced. I know the alternator needs to be replaced but I'm not sure about the computer. What do you think?
