Make sure that you've got a good connection on the terminals too and that the wires going in to the terminals haven't started falling out or anything like that.

okay so this is wierd havent done anything yet and now it is fine. but still cant get my wipers on gonna check my fuses later today when the rain calms down

wipers now work. the fuse was good but the the space were the fuse plugs was loose.

Glad it was something simple. I'd just go over connections real quick (specifically at the battery terminals) once more to make sure they're all solid to make sure things stay happy.

think i just might need a new wire harness cause my starter signal wire isnt working.. had to install a push button start.. for now.

Do you have furry little fiends (yes, fiends, not friends) trying to make a home in your engine bay or dash?

 

[nthilavan]

nope

You probably reset your ECU after changing the battery. Once you turned your car back on the ECU needed time to re-learn everything.
