Default Re: Battery replaced now radio dead

Not mentioned so I am not sure if the car runs for any distance, if the alternator is shot it may not go too far on the battery alone. Also the battery may be damaged internally and is therefore scrap.
Reversing polarity on a new battery or old is not good at all.
