help!

Newbie! First post!

Was working in the drive way today. Had my 4 ways on for two hours cause the nose of my truck was on the street. Went to start the truck.. Sounded like dead battery.. Then nothing.. Now click no lights. Like no battery hooked up.

Any ideas?
TIA

You sure you didn't hook up the other battery backwards?

If that's what you did, who knows what damage that may have caused.

Wow, you arc welded it to the terminal! Your lucky you didn't explode!

Take all that crap out, clean it up, and make sure you can see what your doing.

Sounds like you almost had a dead battery turn into a Darwin Award.
