I took out the battery since it's going bad put a new one in to the correct specs and now nothing car won't light up or anything. What could possibly have happened? Sitting at advanced now don't know what to do.

yep optima yellow d35 everything was tested after I took out the old battery I couldn't even get a spark

check your fuses, you may have burned one or 2 out. That or take out the battery again and let it sit and try that.

(Just to make sure)

Make sure you are plugging in negative-to-negative and poistive-to-positive

I've done that mistake before

+1. The 35 series has the label on in reverse in comparison to how our batteries should be mounted. Positive terminal should be on the right and negative on the left making the label upside down if you're looking at it from the front of the car.

Which Advance?

AAA came to tow and started wiggling the distribution wire and it magically started again with the old battery so I'll do the new yellow top later tonight. What a morning :( it was the advance off kirkman and winter garden.
