Won't start
put a battery charger on @ 2 amps overnight, now does nothing when I try to start it??? all lights light up fine as normal when I turn key on ? did I possibly fry something? I had charger hooked up to jump start posts. Thanks, Bill
1st thing would be to state why you had to hook a charger up. The reason could be related or not.
As far as why it won't start. Could be a number of things. You should start with checking the battery voltage. 12.6-12.8 volts would be the full charge range.
Regarding the jump start posts. Hope you mean the positive battery connection and the strut tower bolts. Maybe you could elaborate on exactly where it was you hooked up the charger.

If you mean it doesn't crank then I can chime in and say the battery might be going out or out already; When my battery was going out, the car would occasionally not respond when the key was turned to START; turning the key all the way back and trying START again worked. Have the bat tested first and foremost.
Which jump start posts?? There is only one positive post for a jump start and the nut on the shock tower for the ground. This will not do much to charge the battery.
Your gonna have to get to the battery back in the spare tire we'll, then connect directly to the battery to charge it.
Don't forget to place a folded towel over the door latch so you don't close the hatch with the battery disconnected.

If you won't tell us what is going on we can't help. Try using more words, text speak does not work.
I am wasting my time unless you participate.
Questions left unanswered:
What ground point was used when charging?
What is the voltage of the battery?
Why did you hook up the charger?
Has the ignition recall been done?
