I replaced the battery in my '90 Civic Wagon with a new one and car won't even crank now. Can anyone give me suggestions as to where I should look? Did I blow a fuse or something when hooking the cables up?

Thanx for any help!

 

different things could have happened...

first off- does you car have an alarm--> kill switch goes off when battery dies or is replaced.

if not that i would start trouble shooting with either a voltmeter or one of those continuity light tester and check the ignition and starter...

but yes.. also check fuses dealing with ignition.

i don't know what else to tell you/// hope you get it running.

You might also want to check your cable connectors and your alternator as well to see if it is holdong a spark....

 

Did you accidentally hook up the wrong cables to the wrong terminals? Check your battery fuse in the underhood fusebox.

Make sure battery cables are tight.

 

Yeah, it was a blown fuse due to me hooking up the wrong terminals.
