Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hi, I have a ford Bantam Rocam. I mistakenly touch the positive cable with a
welding rod when was busy welding a bracket on a car. The battery was not in
the car anyway, what could have happened?

Well, I'm relieved to find that it wasn't intentional, at least. Without power to the car, the only thing you did was damage/destroy the battery cable. Now, depending on the truck's condition, a new battery cable might cost as much as the truck's worth.
