				Good day, 
 
 After some months wiring my plane with Z19, long months, today was the day to set the master switch in ON...    
 
 And I did a mistake... THE mistake. (The Ridiculouse mistake !!!) 
 
 On the wire to connect to my battery, one have a red cap, the other for the moment not cut. (only things that I have to do to finish completly) Weekend finishing I would like to know after months if it works.... before the week.
 
 I set a pair of jumper cable on the aircraft battery let on the ground i connected it to the wire into the plane. (When I wire the battery cable, the red cap was... the only one adaptable to my terminal...) It was the ground cable !!!   
 
 So yes, I did the ridiculouse mistake. And after so much time to wire the plane  to have it perfectly i do this kind of ridiculouse mistake. 
 
 Then... I set master switch ON. and I see a light... it was not a light it was a wire on the battery relay that it was on fire, melting completly his insulation.
 
 my contactor :

 my master relay switch :

 After that I investiguate quickly, and I find that I set the polarity on the wrong way. I set it in the good one.
 
 Same result ! Wire coming red without no more insulation.
 
 My first question is :
 
 - my IFF/Radio/electronics ignitions and all the electronics parts are good to the bin ? (I have a Trig S mode... new electronics Ignitions) wire like the Z19 with a diode and without avionics switch like the Z19.
 
 - Why I have in the bad polarity, but also in the good this wire that is comming hot and red ? 
 
 - I spoke about the electronics instruments, but the others wires could be damage as the wire spoke above ? 
 
 If you have some advise for the next step for me... I will appreciate
