Default Backwards Battery - Help Please

Making a long story short, I set the battery terminals backwards. No excused for being an idiot, but it was dark. Anyone experience this? Also, there is absolutely no power coming out of my car. Not even the headlights after this dumb incident. Tips on troubleshooting? Thanks in advance!

Hopefully, you just blew some fuses and didn't wipe out anything else. Start with the fuse box next to the battery. With the battery disconnected, start replacing what's blown.

good luck

Make sure the battery doesn't have reversed terminals as well.

LOL. I'm not the first am I? 100 amp meaning the "Battery Fusable Link" right? I'll give this a try. Hope this is the case.
