ok i have had this mustang for like 10 year at least and the battery placement has never changed it is a 93 mustang lx convertable .the problem is i had to replace the batter and the batteries always have the positive in the same place till now i bought one from advance auto and put it in put the cables on and the polarity was incorrect i placed the neg. on the positive and vice versa , somehow the post on the battery are now on the opposite sides ..what could i have done damage to now it won't start the cylenoid i replaced the wire with the fuseable link but nothing ..how can i by-pass the line directly to the starter? to turn the car over?

 

did u jumper the starter relay

 

it should have been a group 59 for mustangs. they sold you the wrong battery

 

use a volt meter and start checking continuity from the wires coming off the starter solenoid and then past the fuseable links to see if they are fried

 

How could you NOT notice this before you hooked the cables up?

 

You sure you just don't have the battery in backwards?
