Just got done putting a new head on the car yesterday. The battery was dead, threw it on a charger and the car started up and ran fine. I started it up twice yesterday.
Today i went to start it and it cranked over a few times, and then the battery was dead. First i tried to jump it and got power but nothing from the starter. Then I pulled the battery out and put it on the charger.
Next i grabbed a spare battery and stupid me hooked the terminals up wrong. The was a constant beeping noise and the wipers went off. I think i may have had it hooked up wrong for about 20 seconds or so. Hooked it up the right way and got power, but nothing from the starter.
Then i put a brand new battery on and the same thing, power to everything but nothing from the starter.
So, if your still reading, I guess im going to pull the starter tomarrow and test it. What could i have blown by hooking up the battery backwards? What fuses should i check?
