Default Problems after changing battery

Hey guys, my battery died today so i bought a new battery to replace it. When i go to install the battery, the horn is just constantly on. I removed the fuse for the horn, but now a mechanical buzzing is coming from the engine bay.

any suggestions?

i'm starting to think its more than just my battery.

Unfortunately now it's more than just your battery, but nothing too serious. It sounds like the battery polarity was reversed when it was installed in your car. Disconnect the battery before anything else. You'll have to replace the main battery fuse under the hood. Then make sure that you've bought a 51 series battery and not a 51R series, and get it installed correctly in your car. Hopefully nothing else was affected. Let us know how it turns out.
