Should my positive and negative leads tone out on a continuity test. I checked 2 other battery's and they didnt tone out. I will take the battery back tomorrow and see what they say? Every one I ask at work are puzzled too. Yes I put/hooked it up right +red -black. Thats the first thing they asked me.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "tone out" Are you saying that you have continuity between your positive and negative battery cables? If the battery is disconnected, you shouldn't have continuity between your positive and negative battery cables. Continuity between the two would indicate a short somewhere.

ok i went to autozone and told them it was a bad battery. They tested it and said it was fine. I told him it was bad and showed him the continuity test and it toned out. Grabed a new one and did a continuity test and it didnt tone out. So i said i want that one now that you can see this isnt right. So i got a new one now. But my ignition is bad and i have to fix it now this is going to be fun.
