Rep Power: 0 Car won't start, power issue
To start off, it was just a battery problem. I installed new batteries but I put em on the opposite way yes I'm retarded. Now my problem is I know some fuses might be burned out. Idk which ones. I don't want to start just pulling them out. Thank you in advance. I'm trying not to spend but also I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to cars. I tested the fuses under the hood but they seemed to be fine, except for the main ignition switch fuse? But I bought a new one and still to no avail. I haven't checked any of the fuses inside though..

Re: Car won't start, power issue
Battery connected backwards will blow the biggest fuse, look for the biggest fuse in the engine compartment fuse box. If car is 06 or newer it's probably black, not an obvious fuse and labeled 100A/70A and held in with screws.

The larger main fuse should get it to run again.
Once it runs again, you'll have to discover for yourself if anything else isn't working and check them out accordingly.

Check everything, some things are less obvious than others!
I popped a fuse on my 2014, didn't find out until 2 weeks later when I went to honk the horn and got nada.

Brake lights worked, I checked the lights, windshield wipers, and inside lights.
Didn't think about the horn though, it has it's own fuse in the engine fuse box.
I accidentally shorted the two wires that connect the sensor for the negative terminal when I was changing it out.
