Never do that to ANY vehicle. It's right up there with "I unplugged my
hard drive and then plugged it back in with the computer running".

You've probably screwed up the alternator and possibly the ELD.

Jim,

The tach is electric. No juice, no tach. Have the charging system checked.

More conjecture. You can't possibly know those things to be true.

I guess you didn't read my other post about how it doesn't matter what
exactly has failed, if you're stranded on the side of the road. You're
still stranded on the side of the road, and the *FACTS* are that this is
much more likely to happen with a car such as the one being discussed here.

Do you have anything else that you'd like explained to you?

Folks, I hate to have to say it, but this miniature-brained specimen
makes jim beam look wise, not to mention polite.

I recommend you quit feeding this particular troll.
