Just call me bone head

Ok here is my dilemma ,, I was in my shop replacing the top on my 97 Mustang 3.8 any how I needed to keep putting the top up and down (I previously removed the battery from car when I painted it) anyhow this is where the “BONE HEAD” move came into play ,, since I needed power I just wheeled over my battery charger set it to 300 starting amps ,, hooked it directly to my battery cables then I proceeded to turn key to the on position and hit the roof switch ,, then I got this loud electrical type buzzing noise ,, now my car won’t start ,, I can hear the fuel pump working so that’s not the problem , the car turns over with no problem either ,, it just does not seem to fire ,, I figured I could save some time if anyone here on this forum could make a suggestion as to what I blew out ,, maybe save me some time ,, is there any other “BONE HEADS” here besides me ? lol .. thanks in advance for any light you may shed on my problem ,, by the way great looking site ,, I plan to get the feel of the place and maybe lend a hand when needed ,, like maybe questions on replacing your own rag top for 270 bucks like I just did etc.

No probs dude - we've all been there at some point, so not so much a bonehead thing as valuable life experience ha ha ha ha. No solutions for you other than a slight cringe and sorry to hear it, hope everything gets back working for you. Welcome to the site.
