Jump started the wrong terminals

- Tue Nov 23, 2010 9:00 pm #224289 Look guys i need some help, I accidentally left my lights on and obviously the battery was drained. So i call a buddy over to jump start my car, the guy has no signs on his battery so he took a guess without letting me know and hooked up the wrong terminals. A minute later POOF, I turn the key and nothing lights up's and not even a crank (prior to this the lights did turn on and it did crank). So now im asking you guys for help to see if you guys can guide me into repairing my car. If all else fails then this friday I will take it to the electrical specialist shop. Please help me so I don't spend too much and yes I do know that something is most likely fried (I did purchase a new battery btw)

i have like 10 of each big fues and 6 or 7 of each relay and shit of fuese all size, i :love: junk yards :thumb:
