Bad day for one chevy owner. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Okay today I was at my neighborhoods O'reillys auto parts looking for some cleaning products, I pulled up right next to a beautiful red 2010 Chevy Silverado, owner was a pretty young kid around 18 definitely under 20 (later found out it was his fathers truck). I walk into the store and I overhear the employees talking about the kid, more laughing then talking really. The kid accidently plugged his car battery the opposite way. Now I have no idea how he did this because I thought his battery was a color coded side mount and I believe that mounting it in the opposite direction would be pretty hard. Needless to say when he finally plugged it in the right way. . .No power to anything. Fuses were checked and every fuse was still intact. Car ended up getting towed 7 hours later to the dealership.

Just thought I'd share this story.

That's a lesson that will never be un-learned by him.

So, he tried the battery one way and it didn't work, so he then turned the Silverado around and tried again .......
