So I accidentally hooked my battery up backwards in my 1995 ford ranger. It was acting like the battery was bad weak starting. It blew a few fuses and broke the wire from the selinoid that goes to the alternator. I replaced the fuses and repaired the wire with a crimp connector and put a new battery in. It worked for about a week but still weak starting and now it won't start at all. It clicks the starter like it wants to but won't turn over like the battery is dead. Battery says full charge when hooked up to a charger but is low on the gauge when I turn the ignition on. I'm guessing starter or alternator but I'm far from a mechanic I'm just a shitbox enthusiast that can turn a wrench and follow instructions lol. Please help this is my daily driver.
