Very bad things happen when you reverse polarity while hooking up your car battery. You can destroy your ecu ( brain ) ignition control unit and just about anything else. If you did do this and heard a big pop sound and possibly smelled electrical smoke ( burning insulation on wires ) you understand what I am saying.

Honda civic battery will not hold a chargecould it be a relay?
No. It could be a parasitic draw. To test for one, you can disconnect the positive lead of the battery, make sure all doors are closed and keys are out of the ignition, then hook the positive lead of an ammeter to the positive terminal of the battery, and the negative lead of the ammeter to the disconnected positive lead. Leave this hooked up for about an hour, and you should see less than 50 mA of current flowing. You have to leave it to give the computer time to shut off, it is normal for it to turn on when first connecting the battery. If you have above 50 mA, then you have something that is left on, From here you can test individual circuits in the same way through the fuse box. If it is below 50mA, you most likely have a problem with your battery or alternator.
