My battery needed to be replaced so I tried to do it myself. I accidently put it in backwards. Hooking up the positive terminal to the negative terminal etc..
It caused my 100amp main fuse in the engine fuse box to pop. I got a new fuse replaced it and hooked up the battery correctly.
Everything seemed fine except the battery indicator was staying on. I ignored it and continued to drive the vehicle.
The next day when driving down the road I suddenly lost all power and I had to pull to the side of the road. I couldn´t start the car.
What happen? Did I ruin the battery? Did I screw up my alternator? Is my electrical system totally screwed? Could it be a simple fuse?
I own a 95 Ford Escort LX.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
