	Did I just fry my ecu « on: November 16, 2013, 09:17:03 PM »

Was putting my ecu in boot mode and noticed that someone switched the red and black terminals .....so I was hooking positive to negative and negative to positive .... Was never able to get Into boot made after that .....my cable seems fine the light still lights up and there was no smoke or funny smells ......going to try again tomorrow ,

More than likely, yes.

ECU is most likely fine, but get a new cable.

Just get one from ebay. I got one of mine from the UK. Just make sure you search for FT232RL to get the correct one. Even if I would sell you one, I am located in Europe and even if I use DHL to send it, it takes 3 business days to get it across the ocean and would cost a fortune.
