Friend hooked up battery backward, now no start!
So, a friend "helped" install a battery in 89 Civic wagon, he reversed the terminals, positive on negative, and negative on positive! Replaced blown fuse, put terminals on proper, and car still won't start! Any ideas?? Thx

Is the car getting power at all(lights,radio,etc)?
Or will it just not turn over?
Is your new battery charged?

Fuc*in' sweeet! Your "friend" must've really hated you. As they say, "A best friend can become your worst enemy, and your worst enemy can become your best friend." In your case, he became your enemy.

your "friend" is a moron. lol. i'd check the above stated things, and if that doesn't work, you might have bigger problems to deal with.
