Arced my battery today.

So tightening my battery terminal my hand slipped and arced the batter against the unibody with the wrench, my radio came on for about 5 seconds after that happened . Wtf would cause that? Everything electrical is working fine.... that I am aware of.

your radio came on for five seconds by itself without the car on? talk to a priest, you have woken a spirit
 


So if I'm right, your negative batt cable was already connected, then as you were connecting the positive, you shorted the battery to the body?

Probably scrambled the electronics a bit, but I don't think there is damage to them.

I would wonder if the battery was harmed. Dang, you must have almost welded the wrench to the terminal.
 
I suppose that if the car was charged positive and the stars were aligned the radio could turn on; however, very unlikely.. Id go with the spirit thing... lol

I don't have the factory terminal on the car as I had to upgrade to supply power to my two amps and aftermarket alarm/rs. I was using vice grips and a wrench, the vice grips popped off causing the wrench to spin freely so the vice grips and the wrench grounded the car at the same time.
