I put my battery in backwards
Yeah so im an idiot and put my new battery in my car backwards wich blew three or four fuses I fixed them but my car still wont start when I turn the key I just hear it click. Any one have an idea on where I should start?????
Start at the starter,check for 12 volts cranking.( probably 10 volts with voltage drop) If no voltage there go to the ignition switch and trace from there. Check all grounds/connectors for overheating etc.
So you put your Battery in wrong i am guessing you have it fixed by know. But just wanted to have my input most likely the battery lost its charge as you sent power through the system the wrong way. but it would be intresting to see what the problem was so let me know
