Damage Done?

[HelgaK12GT]

Cold day with a bit of snow on the ground.  Went for a short ride to get some gas.  When I finished fill up bike wouldn't start.   Battery was barely able to turn bike over.  I used an SAE plug that was apparently cross wired (+ hooked to negative cable on battery).  Now when I press the starter....quick as a flash,  nothing happens.  Had to get towed home from the gas station.  Any ideas on what I damaged and what I should trouble shoot?

You aren't really clear .

what bike, were you trying to jump or charge the bike ? 

Most SAE connectors have a fuse inline inside a rectangular rubber pod. 

Dependong on what year bike, you may have a blown fuse, AND some bmw powerports are fused inline. 

So a bit more info can help. 

 

How old is your battery and I assume it wasn't on a charger over the winter ? What brand battery ?

Helga...why do you think cross wired?  Did you trace it out or some other indication?  Are you talking about the accessory outlet?  Give us a little more info and wait for some experts here who will jump in soon and help your resolve.  Hang tight.
