Adamk42, I moved your post to the existing thread on the subject of folks who've accidentally hooked up their battery backwards.
You'll want to do the following:
(1) Read this thread
(2) Read THIS THREAD so you can find relevant existing threads quickly the next time around, and
(3) If the information in this thread still doesn't help you, continue to post your observations and issues in this thread. This alerts previous posters that there's something new in this thread. (When Admin is forced to do a thread merge, nobody is notified ... so it's always best to be the one to find the right thread to post in.)
Good luck!
Gwen
