Yes, most dry cell batteries will not make a connection reversed
in any other than a flash light which of course wouldn't be critical

Yes but then the $tealership wouldn't get the big bucks to replace the

He is lucky the ignition wasn't on. The ignition module will normally
cook before that link goes.
