battery problem wont start

[dsmarc]

well.....i put a new battery in today and in doing so when i touched 2 wires that went on the pos. side they sparked for some reason so i figured no biggie just blew a fuse. went to put them on again no spark or anything folloed where those wires went to which was just the fuse box under the hood checked the main blade type fuses everything looked good. so i finished hooking up all the wires to the batt.
got in to start it for some reason the windshield wipers came on couldnt turn them off unless i removed the key.
car would not start the first time it just made some strange noise like it had power but would not crank over so i tried again and just a bunch of grinding happend whats up?

That car is CURSED!!!!!! I wouldn't check it for crankwalk. As long as you don't check it, then you don't have it.

ohhhhhhhhh agreed mike, BUT i figured out the problem lets just say......the neg. was red and pos was black damn cheap batteries are made backwards so i have quite a few fuses to buy. all before i go to south carolina in 3 hours and i dont get off work in another 2 1/2 im gonna have no time to do all this oh well
