well i bought a new optima red top and i went to intstall it today. i was kind of in a hurry b/c i had to go out and i stupidly installed the battery backwards.
After realizing i was a complete idiot, i changed the battery connections. problem is now my car will not turn over. im almost positive its electrical b/c certain things do not work (windows, console, a/c, tails, alarm). i checked the fuses and they dont look blown. any help is appreciated. |
