what happens if I installed my atv battery backwards
Installed battery backwards now it won't start. The battery died on my 2003 Arctic Cat 500 so I bought a new one and unfortunately put it in backwards.It sparked when I hooked the negative cable to the positive side but didn't realize anything was wrong until it wouldn't start.Discovered my screw up and reinstalled the battery right and nothing. Battery still has a charge, but it will not power anything lights, fan, or ignition.t sparked when I hooked the negative cable to the positive side but didn't realize anything was wrong until it wouldn't start. Discovered my screw up and reinstalled the battery right and nothing.
