My car won't start.
I have a 2003 Honda civic Si. Today i bought a new battery and my friend installed it in backwards. Connected it up to car backwards now my car won't start. Idk what's wrong! Some is saying the main fuse is fired or the computer is blow. Someone help?? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Underhood fusebox. #18, 19, 20 are main fuses. Bolted in. Look through the little windows on top and see if the wire inside is toasted apart.
Better check the rest of the fuses too. Hooking up a battery backwards can blow many different fuses, and can cause a lot of damage at the same time.
Replace any that are blown.
See what happens.

Just going for the most expensive dang thing you can think of? Put a transmission in it then.
Fix the blown fuse(s) and see what happens.

A whole bunch of loot if you aren't capable of doing it yourself.
Plus a tow truck charge.
