What could have messed up
So I had to replace the battery on my 2012
Chevy Malibu today and I wasn't paying any
attention and connected the terminals to the
wrong parts of the battery. Once I connect
the negative the car alarm started going off
and the car started to smoke really bad. Tool
ot off within 6 seconds. I drove the car to the
store home then work then somewhere for
lunch. Left work and got the bank and
multiple lights came on my ABS,
ANTITHEFT, ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION
CONTROL, MIGHT BE MISSING ONE. Then I
waited a minute started the car back up and
took off as o was driving down the road
about a mile if not less the lights dimmed all
those lights turned on again and then it said
check power steering and then my lights
went out completely & the car shut off. I had
enough go to pull into a parking lot. I sat
there for a minute and the car turned back
on enough for me to reverse my car into a
parking spot. Shut it off again then I started
it to just let it run to see what would happen
and it ran and then I turned the brights off
and off it went again . Not sure what this is
going to cost to fix it.i know it's because I
crossed the terminals for the battery. Just
not sure to what this could have ruined.
