so i connected the battery backwards like an idiot, help?

[v1nyard]

i have an 07 rxp. It definetly blew the battery fuse, so i replaced that. When you put the key on, the gauges come up and then fade right away. I dont really know where to go from here. Can anyone help?

It's normal for them to fade away......but the ? is how long do they stay on for you after pushing start/attaching the key?

Have you tried starting it?

 

[v1nyard]

it doesnt start. when you push on the key, the gauges come up (no beep), then its literally like 2 seconds and they fade away. it wont turn over or click or anything.

It is not uncommon for a poor connection issue to become present after hooking the battery up backwards. Remove, clean and re-connect the wires at the solenoid and the heavy ground wires.

There is a good chance you blew more than one fuse. Check them all.

I did the same thing a few days ago, I made the correct connection and it would not work,turned out the new battery was bad, no problem with the sea doo
