backwards battery
 

I installed a battery in backwards like a idiot and blew the 100amp fuse and
my headlights wont come on. i replaced the fuse but the headlights still dont
work. i checked the voltage at the bulbs and theirs nothing. am i overlooking
something? if its a fuse i cant find it. any help would be great. thank you.

You may have fried the headlight relay.

Will the car even start? Do the other accessories work (radio, fan,
heat, A/C, power windows, power mirrors, rear defroster, etc.)? If not,
that may indicate a problem with the ETACS computer.

Did you check the normal fuse in the fusebox ?

You'll need to check all your fuses. In many cases, more than one blows.
Rarely does this cause an issue beyond blown fuses.

That's good to know!
