Had a quick and almost harsh reminder today to double check everything.
Was in the middle of installing a Deka battery today and when connecting the negative terminal it created a huge arc that melted part of the terminal...oh ****!
Turns out, the factory had placed the red terminal cover over the negative terminal. I know i definitely should have verified the terminals myself but in my haste I just trusted the cover.
Luckily, a radio fuse and an ECU fuse later nothing seems to be worse for the wear. Whew.
