Even with a 100% dead battery, you should have gotten *something*. Either the battery wasn't the only problem, or you didn't have something hooked up right.

Probably more evidence that the car has some kind of electrical fault..? As far as I know, the voltage of a car battery isn't high enough to give you a shock like that.

I'm confused, you couldn't just turn the battery around?
