Discussion:
Not a forklift but maybe you can help?

Okay so I have a custom vehicle for work long story short a conworker broke the voltage indicator on it driving it through the rain. (Yes he's dumb) [electric indoor vehicle]. Anyway against better judgement I didn't take the batter cables lose it runs 4 6v beastly batteries. While pulling the gauge the wrench slipped and ground the two leads. Obviously big flash of sparks little soil in the pants but now it won't start. Where would you guys look or could it be that the gauge isn't allowing power through now and that's why just thought of that as I was typing this ??. Let me know what you think ima go test that theory
