Default Battery Install

This is my second time installing a new battery. When I hook it up the horn beeps and then goes out.

The FOB works but the car does not turn over.

Before i go through looking for a problem of not starting. Is there some special way or something i should be doing so the car is starting.

I checked the battery and the battery is new and is fine. Thanks

Some batteries sit on the retailers shelf for months before selling them. The charge can be down or dead. I alway put my charger on a new battery before trying to start my cars. Check it out.

Maybe you switched the terminals and fried everything!
