Unhappy Replaced battery, now just clicking noises

So I bought a new battery to put in my car and searched around to see if I had to do anything special to make sure something was not lost EC wise, but I found nothing. So tonight I pulled the old battery only to realize that the battery has the terminals on the wrong side, so I put the old one back in so I could swap the new one for a different one. Now my car sounds like just the gas pump is going and a a sound of a clicking noise. what should I do from here? Also the car ran just perfectly prior to pulling the battery.

Yeah, checking if the battery had enough power was the first thing to do.
Glad you sorted that one out by yourself.

Cheers.

Thanks for the suggestions. I keep the terminals very clean.
