My friend has a 95 Accord. His battery went dead and he put a new one in. But when he hooked it up he hooked it up backwards, pos on neg and neg on pos. Well he fried the battery, so he got a new one (again) and now his car wont start at all. No power, no anything. What did he break and how can he fix it?

Thankls for your help

Just remember red is positive and black is ground/negative.....I would say pop your fuse cover and see whats toast, and if none of those are bad the worst may have happened ecu is ^^ (**** up)

 

Let's hope the fuse is bad, or else it's your car.

check the fuse box under the hood.

that's why you never work on car when you're high..

This is exactly why I think that hoods should have locks on them and the owner should not be given a key to it until he passes a test.

That aside ... sounds like he popped the main fuse. Look in the fuse box under the hood and where you see the two kinda thick wires entering the box you should see a fairly thick aluminum fuse there. You will probably see that it is fried in half.

 

Yes. Fuses.

Main fusible link is fried. Replace w/ a OEM junk-yard one.
