Fast forward to a tow coming because battery died trying to get it started....

He hooked up the wrong terminals. Then it wouldn't turn over at all.

This morning tried to start it and got a click per attempt but no turn over. There is a high pitched whistle though that only goes away if the negative is taken off.

There is now a new battery in it and it still won't turn over. There a fuse I need to check or something? Need help.

All other electrical items work but are running off battery power so i have taken the negative off for the time being.

Anyone had this happen? Know how it happened or how to fix it?
