helping a nieghbor out, he said he put the battery in incorrectly. Since he replaced it with a new one. It won’t start-no lights. even with all 3 ignition switch wires disconnected theres 12.74 voltes to the three 15 amp circuit breakers once the battery is connected. Did he fry something?

Start with basic troubleshooting:

Clean all electrical connections.
Connect all wires to ignition switch.
Connect battery cables.
Check voltage at both posts on main breaker, tell us what the results are.
